Standard and large VELUX centre-pivot windows fitted with the correct flashing kit for your tile profile. The wrong flashing kit is the most common cause of VELUX leaks.
Fixed roof lights for rooms where ventilation isn't needed. Lower cost, suitable for lower pitches and bathroom/hallway applications.
Rigid and flexible sun tunnels bring daylight to rooms with no direct roof access. Typically installed in a half-day.
Failed flashings, broken handles, misted glazing units and seal failures on existing VELUX windows repaired or replaced.
Fleet's stock of 1970s–1990s housing has seen significant loft conversion activity. Roof windows are often the difference between a storage loft and a habitable room — and correct flashing for Hampshire weather conditions is essential.
Fleet sits on a plateau above the Blackwater Valley, giving it good drainage but exposure to south-westerly winds that accelerate tile and mortar weathering on exposed elevations.
Concrete interlocking tiles on 1980s estates showing surface carbonation and nail sickness. Ridge mortar failure on exposed south-west facing properties. UPVC fascia delamination on 1990s stock.
We cover Fleet (GU51) and surrounding areas including Church Crookham, Hook, Farnham. Same-day response available Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7.

Fleet's commuter belt housing stock — predominantly 1970s to 1990s detached and semi-detached on estates like Elvetham Heath — means roofing issues here follow a predictable cycle. Concrete interlocking tiles installed between 1975 and 1995 are now 30–50 years old, at or approaching the point where surface carbonation accelerates and nail fixings begin to fail.
VELUX installation in Fleet requires attention to two details that determine long-term performance: the correct flashing kit for your specific tile profile, and adequate counter-batten height to allow proper weathering above the frame. Both are installation specifics that separate a window that performs for 25 years from one that leaks in year three. We get both right.
The affluent commuter belt character of Fleet means properties are generally well-maintained — but well-presented properties can still have roof problems that aren't visible from street level. A survey every 5 years is worth the investment given the property values involved.
Fleet's plateau position gives it slightly more exposure to south-westerly weather than sheltered valley towns. Ridge and hip mortar failure after winter storms is a recurring call pattern in the Fleet area.
"Three VELUX windows fitted as part of our loft conversion. Correctly flashed, not a drop in 18 months. Would recommend without hesitation."
"Had a sun tunnel put into the dark hallway. Incredible difference — transformed the space. Half a day's work."
"Existing VELUX had been leaking since the previous owner. Wrong flashing kit — sorted on the first visit. Should have been done right first time."
A standard VELUX centre-pivot window supplied and fitted with the correct flashing kit for your tile type typically costs £600–£900 in Fleet. Sun tunnels start from £350. We provide a free written quote once the specification is confirmed.
Most roof window installations are permitted development. Exceptions include conservation area properties and listed buildings. We'll advise on whether consent is needed and help specify an installation that stays within PD rights where possible.
The most common cause is an incorrect flashing kit for the tile profile — widespread when windows are fitted by roofers unfamiliar with the VELUX system. Other causes include failed butyl tape seals and displaced sill sections. Most leaks can be fixed without replacing the window.
VELUX centre-pivot windows require a minimum 15° pitch. Below this, a flat roof window or sun tunnel is the right solution. We'll confirm suitability at survey stage.
