Skylight and Velux window installation, replacement and leak repair for pitched and flat roofs.
Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Pulborough
Pulborough 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. Pulborough occupies a commanding position above the River Arun floodplain in the heart of the Weald, and the broad valley visible from the town is a reminder of the area's relatively high rainfall — combined with the mature deciduous woodland surrounding much of it, that means gutters and valleys need regular clearing to prevent blockage-related water ingress. The surrounding villages contain a disproportionately high number of listed buildings and older vernacular properties, where Horsham stone and local clay plain tiles are common traditional materials.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Pulborough
Housing stock
A small historic core with notable period buildings, surrounded by residential development that expanded through the 20th century. 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
Inland — above the River Arun floodplain, no coastal exposure. 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
Mature deciduous woodland surrounding much of the town means gutters and valleys need regular clearing. 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 Pulborough — 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.
