About Old Colwyn Properties
Large 1960s-70s estates on hillside south of A55. Coed Pella Road, Bro Eirwg. Victorian village core around St Catherine's Church. Elevated position above the coast.
Hillside elevation means more frequent and severe frost than coastal towns. South-westerly wind funnelling. 1960s-70s tile stock at end of design life.
Why Old Colwyn Specifically Matters for Velux & Roof Windows
Old Colwyn's hillside semis have rear roof slopes that face south or south-east — ideal solar orientation for Velux windows. The elevation also gives excellent sky exposure with minimal shadowing. We carry out Velux installation on Old Colwyn hillside properties regularly as part of loft conversion projects, where the south-facing orientation is a significant selling point for natural light.
Our Velux & Roof Windows Process
Planning Position Confirmed First
We advise on permitted development rules and conservation area restrictions before any installation. We will not install without confirming the planning position.
Correct Flashing System for the Roof
Slate roofs require the EDL or EDW flashing system. Concrete tile roofs use a different kit. Incorrect flashing specification is the cause of almost every Velux leak we repair.
Structural Opening and Full Weatherproof
We handle the structural opening, install the correct flashing kit, and redress surrounding tiles or slate to a watertight finish. The roof is fully weathertight the same day.
