Skylight and Velux window installation, replacement and leak repair for pitched and flat roofs.
Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Aldwick
Aldwick customers looking for roof skylights & velux windows turn to West Sussex Roofing. A well-placed roof skylight can transform a dark loft conversion, bedroom or kitchen extension — bringing in natural light, improving ventilation and adding real value to a property. Installation covers all the leading skylight brands as well as bespoke rooflights for flat roof applications, and the installation is only as good as the flashing kit around it — the roof covering has to be cut back precisely to the window's dimensions and a purpose-made flashing kit dressed in around all four sides to tie into the surrounding tiles or slates without creating a new leak point. Existing skylights that have developed leaks can often be resealed rather than replaced entirely, which is usually the more cost-effective fix. Aldwick sits on the coast just west of Bognor Regis and is known locally for its larger, more spread-out plots — substantial detached houses set back from private tree-lined roads, many dating from the interwar period when the area developed as a select seaside retreat. The bigger footprints mean bigger, more complex roofs, with multiple hips and valleys and tall chimney stacks, while direct exposure to the Channel means salt corrosion and wind-driven rain are constant considerations that need factoring into every survey here alongside the greater access and scaffolding demands of larger properties.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Aldwick
Housing stock
Substantial detached houses on larger, more spread-out plots, many dating from the interwar period, alongside more recent executive-style rebuilds. Loft conversions and skylight installations are common across both older converted roof spaces and newer builds, but the roof structure and covering around the opening differ by era.
Weather exposure
Severe — direct exposure to the Channel, with salt corrosion and wind-driven rain a constant consideration. A skylight is a cut-in weak point in the roof covering, so getting the flashing kit and seal right matters even more in wind-driven-rain and coastal locations.
Access
The scale of the properties here means access and scaffolding requirements are typically greater than on a standard semi. Skylight work usually means working from inside the loft as well as the roof exterior, so access to both needs planning.

Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Aldwick — FAQ
On a pitched roof, most skylight installations fall under permitted development provided the skylight doesn't protrude more than 150mm above the roof plane. Flat roof extensions, conservation areas and listed buildings may need consent — a local roofer will advise at survey stage.
The most common cause is degraded flashing kit around the frame. Replacing and resealing the flashing usually provides a permanent fix, though a corroded frame may need a replacement unit fitted instead.
It depends on the model, size and roof access. Book a free survey for a fixed, written price before any work begins.
