New roof windows transform a dark loft into usable space. We supply and install VELUX roof windows, fixed skylights and sun tunnels across Godalming — with the correct flashing kit for your tile type and fully weathertight installation as standard.
We cover all Godalming postcodes (GU7) and the surrounding area. Free written quotes, no call-out fee, 10-year workmanship guarantee.
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.
Godalming's stock of Victorian and Edwardian 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 Surrey weather conditions is essential.
Godalming sits in the Wey Valley which creates a microclimate — higher humidity than surrounding hilltop towns, more persistent morning dampness, and accelerated moss growth on north and east facing slopes.
Accelerated moss growth from valley humidity. Clay peg tile slippage on period properties. Blocked valleys from heavy leaf fall due to tree canopy over Wey watermeadows.
We cover Godalming (GU7) and surrounding areas including Farncombe, Milford, Farnham. Same-day response available Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7.

Godalming's Wey Valley location creates a distinct microclimate. The valley floor runs at higher humidity than the surrounding high ground, and the watermeadow proximity south of the town centre means north and east facing slopes see moss colonisation faster than equivalent properties in Fleet or Farnborough. Clay peg tiles on the Victorian and Edwardian town centre stock are particularly susceptible once moss establishes.
VELUX installation in Godalming 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.
Godalming's affluent market town character and strong heritage conservation awareness means period-correct maintenance is valued here. Residents and conservation officers alike notice when inappropriate materials are used. We always specify correctly for Godalming's property types.
The Wey Valley's heavy deciduous tree canopy generates some of the highest autumn leaf volumes we deal with. Properties on Farncombe Road, Bridge Road and the watermeadow-adjacent streets need annual valley and gutter clearance without exception.
"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 Godalming. 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.
