Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Felpham
Skylight and Velux window installation, replacement and leak repair for pitched and flat roofs.
Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Felpham
Felpham 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. Felpham runs along the seafront immediately east of Bognor Regis, and the village's roofing stock reflects two distinct waves of building: a scatter of Georgian and Victorian houses near Felpham church, and the much larger volume of interwar and post-war bungalows making up most of the residential streets running back from the coast road. It's the flat-roof stock on those older bungalows — rather than the pitched tile roofs — that generates the bulk of the leak and repair concerns here, since direct sea frontage means ridge tiles, ageing felt and lead flashing all tend to fail sooner than an inland equivalent.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Felpham
Housing stock
A scatter of Georgian and Victorian houses around the historic centre, and a much larger volume of interwar and post-war bungalows and chalet-style houses. 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 — runs along the seafront immediately east of Bognor Regis, so wind-driven rain and salt spray are a daily reality rather than an occasional storm event. 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
Many older bungalows have flat-roofed rear extensions, garages and sun rooms added over the decades. 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 Felpham — 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.
