Velux & Roof Windows Penmaenmawr

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 — on Penmaenmawr roofs especially, where sat beneath the mountain on an exposed coast, it takes both mountain downdraught and sea gale.

• 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 — as is typical of the Penmaenmawr stock around Bangor Road. Read the full guide.

From First Call to Sign-Off

Job Durations at a Glance

We keep the opening weathertight through the fit; heavy rain can move an install day — as anyone with a roof near Fernbrook Road in Penmaenmawr will recognise.

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Penmaenmawr

Roof-window work runs from a tower or scaffold depending on pitch and height, plus internal access to the loft — particularly on the older Penmaenmawr properties off Paradise 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.

Penmaenmawr quarry-town terraces carry heavy Welsh slate; matching reclaimed slate is essential on these. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Conwy County Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Bangor Road, Paradise Road, Fernbrook Road where space is tight.

• 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.

Living Around the Work

Some internal dust where the opening is formed — we sheet the room below; external work needs only agreed access — a point worth stressing to Penmaenmawr homeowners given the coastal exposure here. 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. Sat beneath the mountain on an exposed coast, it takes both mountain downdraught and sea gale.
