New roof windows transform dark loft spaces in Shortheath into usable rooms. We supply and install VELUX windows, fixed skylights and sun tunnels across Shortheath — with the correct flashing kit for your tile type as standard.
Shortheath's 1960s–1980s housing has seen significant loft conversion activity. Roof windows are often the difference between a storage loft and a habitable room. Correct flashing specification for Shortheath's weather exposure is essential for a leak-free installation.
1960s–1980s semi-detached and detached housing on the eastern edge of Farnham. Concrete interlocking tile throughout. Generally well-maintained compared to some post-war estates.
Concrete tile aging on 1960s–70s properties. Gutter blockages from Farnham Park tree canopy on eastern boundary properties. Flat garage roofs needing replacement. Open ridge mortar joints.
Shortheath occupies flat ground on the eastern edge of Farnham towards Farnham Park. The park boundary creates significant tree coverage on eastern plots with attendant gutter blockage issues.
Properties backing onto Farnham Park face above-average leaf fall every autumn. Annual autumn gutter clearance is strongly recommended — a single blocked winter causes water to back up under tiles.
We cover Shortheath (GU9) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

Properties backing onto Farnham Park in Shortheath face above-average leaf fall volume every autumn from the park's mature deciduous boundary planting. For these properties, annual autumn gutter clearance is critical — a single blocked winter season consistently causes more damage than years of normal weathering. We see more gutter overflow and fascia saturation damage on park-adjacent Shortheath properties than anywhere else in the neighbourhood.

Most installations are permitted development. Conservation area properties and listed buildings may need consent. We'll advise on whether consent is needed and specify accordingly.
The most common cause is the wrong flashing kit for the tile profile — widespread when windows are fitted by roofers unfamiliar with the VELUX system. Most leaks can be fixed without replacing the window.
