Velux & Roof Windows Mochdre

Do You Actually Need Velux & Roof Windows?

Roof-window problems are usually leaks around the flashing kit, failed seals letting in draughts or condensation, or an old unit due for replacement — as anyone with a roof near Tan-y-Bryn Road in Mochdre will recognise.

• 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 — and on Mochdre's coastal elevations it makes the difference. Read the full guide.

How a Mochdre Velux & Roof Windows Job Runs

How Long Does It Take?

We keep the opening weathertight through the fit; heavy rain can move an install day — particularly near Maes Uchaf where the older stock shows its age.

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Mochdre

Roof-window work runs from a tower or scaffold depending on pitch and height, plus internal access to the loft — as is typical of the Mochdre stock around Station Road. Scaffold is specified for: first-floor and steep-pitch installs where safe external standing is needed - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Mochdre is mostly post-war and modern estates with concrete-tile roofs, generally accessible from driveways. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Conwy County Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Station Road, Maes Uchaf, Tan-y-Bryn Road where space is tight.

The Guarantee in Plain Terms

Fitting workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years; Velux and other units carry their own manufacturer warranties (commonly 10–20 years) — something we see constantly on Mochdre properties around Station Road.

• Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
• On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
• Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

Disruption, Mess & Weather

Some internal dust where the opening is formed — we sheet the room below; external work needs only agreed access — and on an exposed Mochdre roof that is not a detail to cut corners on. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.

We only open a roof for a window in a dry window and keep it covered between stages. Tucked just inland, slightly sheltered, but north slopes still hold winter damp.
