Our work in Kingston

Two of our recent jobs are in Kingston. In one, we took down a flat ceiling, formed a vaulted ceiling with three Velux windows, then insulated and plastered it ready to decorate. In the other, we fitted a long flat glass rooflight to a new rear extension, set between the structural steels to bring daylight back over the kitchen.

Replacing old skylights and roof windows

Older roof windows and skylights eventually show their age: misted double glazing, leaks around the flashing, or windows that stick and no longer seal. A Velux window can usually be replaced in the same opening. An old fixed skylight on a flat roof can become a modern flat glass rooflight, or an opening window with a rain sensor, as we did for a homeowner in Esher.

Planning in Kingston

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is the planning authority. Most rooflights on houses are permitted development, but the borough has a number of conservation areas, and listed buildings and flats have their own rules. A new opening in the roof usually needs building regulations approval. We will tell you what applies to your job.

What we fit in Kingston upon Thames

  • Velux pitched roof windows

    Daylight and fresh air through a sloping roof: manual, electric and solar-powered Velux windows for lofts, vaulted ceilings and extensions.

  • Flat glass skylights

    A clean pane of sky in a flat roof: frameless-look rooflights for extensions, kitchens, hallways and landings.

  • Roof lanterns

    A glazed lantern rising out of a flat roof: height, character and daylight for kitchens, extensions and orangeries.

  • Sun tunnels

    Daylight piped down a mirrored tube to rooms a skylight cannot reach: landings, bathrooms, hallways and stairwells.

  • Roof window blinds

    Velux blinds made to fit your windows: blackout for bedrooms, roller and Venetian for living spaces, and solar blinds with no wiring.

  • EPDM rubber roofing

    A flat roof in one seamless sheet of rubber, with rooflights and lanterns dressed in by the same team that fits them.

  • GRP fibreglass roofing

    A hard, seamless fibreglass roof, laid in place and finished around every rooflight, upstand and edge.

Questions from Kingston upon Thames

Do you replace old Velux windows in Kingston?

Yes. Velux makes its windows in standard sizes, so a new window can often go straight into the old opening with new flashings. We check the size code on your window's data plate before we quote.

Can you replace an old skylight on a flat roof?

Yes. Old fixed or domed skylights can be swapped for a modern flat glass rooflight, or for an opening Velux flat roof window with a rain sensor, on a properly weathered upstand.

Do you fit Velux blinds in Kingston?

Yes. We supply and fit Velux blinds made to the size of each window, including blackout and solar-powered blinds, to new windows and to the ones you already have.
