Velux & Skylight Installation

Loft conversion, dark landing or kitchen extension that needs more daylight? Johnson's Roofing installs Velux and rival skylight brands across West Glamorgan — full structural alteration, watertight flashing kits for slate, tile or pantile roofs, and an interior plastered reveal that looks like it was always there. Building Regulations notification handled.

How we work

We start with a site visit to confirm rafter spacing, room layout and the right product and flashing kit for your roof covering. On install day we work from the inside out: rafters trimmed, frame fitted, flashing kit dressed in, then the internal reveal plastered ready for decoration. Most single installations are completed in one day with no scaffolding required on standard pitched roofs.

Common questions

Do I need Building Regulations approval for a Velux?

Yes — installing a new roof window is notifiable work. We handle the Building Regulations notification through our registered installer membership, so there's no separate paperwork or fees for you to deal with.

How long does installation take?

A single new Velux into an existing pitched roof is typically a one-day job. Replacing an old Velux for a new one is usually a half-day. Multiple windows or conservation-style installs may take two days.

Will it leak?

Not when it's installed with the manufacturer's flashing kit matched to your roof covering. Velux back their flashing kits with a manufacturer warranty and we add our workmanship guarantee on top.

Can you replace an old leaking Velux?

Yes — we replace old Velux units (often the seals have perished after 15-20 years) with current models, usually in half a day. Same opening size means no plastering changes inside.
