Velux & Roof Windows Colwyn Bay

Is Velux & Roof Windows the Right Fix?

Roof-window problems are usually leaks around the flashing kit, failed seals letting in draughts or condensation, or an old unit due for replacement — and on an exposed Colwyn Bay roof that is not a detail to cut corners on.

• Water tracking in around the window frame after rain
• Draughts or condensation between the panes
• A rattling, ill-fitting or seized-up old unit
• Wanting to add light to a loft or extension

When it is not the answer: If only the flashing kit has failed, re-flashing the existing window is cheaper than a new unit — particularly on the older Colwyn Bay properties off Sea View Road. Read the full guide.

Disruption, Mess & Weather

Some internal dust where the opening is formed — we sheet the room below; external work needs only agreed access — on Colwyn Bay roofs especially, where exposed bay frontage takes the full northerly gale; wind-driven rain finds tired flashings fast. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
