Skylight and Velux window installation, replacement and leak repair for pitched and flat roofs.
Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Middleton-on-Sea
Middleton-on-Sea 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. Middleton-on-Sea grew up largely as a mid-20th-century seaside settlement, and a big share of its housing stock reflects that: single-storey and dormer bungalows with low-pitched roofs, many with flat-roofed garages, porches and rear additions added over the years. That low-pitch, flat-roof-heavy mix is the defining feature of roofing here — felt and asphalt flat roofs age faster than pitched tile, and flat roofs that have been re-felted more than once without ever being properly assessed for falls and drainage are a common finding, which is usually the real reason a flat roof keeps failing.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Middleton-on-Sea
Housing stock
Predominantly single-storey and dormer bungalows with low-pitched roofs, many with flat-roofed garages, porches and rear additions. 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 — directly on the coast between Felpham and Bognor Regis, with the same salt-laden south-westerly weather as its neighbours. 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
Low-pitched bungalow roofs mean even small tile slippage or ridge failure can let water track a long way before it shows up inside. 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 Middleton-on-Sea — 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.
