Roof Windows and Skylights across Cheshire
Roof windows suit loft conversions, extensions and landings that need more light and fresh air. Pitched-roof windows are fitted into the slope with flashings that match the covering. Flat roof lights and lanterns sit on upstands on a flat roof.
We replace old and leaking roof windows, fit new ones into existing roofs and finish the flashings, linings and internal trims. Cutting a new opening can mean altering rafters, which is structural work, and it can need Building Regulations approval. We explain what applies before we start.

When to fit or replace a roof window
- A dark loft, landing or extension that needs natural light
- An old roof window that leaks, mists up or will not open or close
- Condensation or damp around the frame or lining
- A rooflight on a flat roof that has cracked, crazed or failed
- A loft conversion that needs an escape window
How we fit roof windows
We choose the window and flashing kit to suit the roof covering, cut the opening, trim the rafters where needed and fit the frame, flashings and lining so the window is weathertight and neat inside. We also fit blinds and finishing trims on request.
On flat roofs we fit rooflights on upstands or kerbs with the waterproof layer taken up and over, so the joint is sealed. We replace failed units like for like where possible and advise on better-insulated alternatives.

Sign-off
We show you the finished work, send photos and give you your written guarantee.
Which roof window suits me?
Choose by position, pitch and purpose: opening roof windows for ventilation and escape, fixed windows for light, and flat roof lights or lanterns on extensions. Glazing choices include double and triple glazing and solar control for south-facing roofs. We give options at the survey.
What affects the cost?
Cost depends on the size and type of window, whether the opening already exists, the roof covering and any structural work. We give a fixed price after a survey.

Roof Windows and Skylights: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Roof windows on most houses are permitted development if they do not stick out too far, but there are limits, and listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules. We check before we quote.
Can you replace an old leaking roof window?
Yes. We replace the window and renew the flashings so the joint with the roof is watertight.
Do roof windows work with solar panels?
Yes, with a layout that leaves the right gaps. We plan the roof for both. See solar panels.
How long does it take?
A single roof window is often a day. We tell you at the survey.
