Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Walberton
Walberton 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. Walberton is a quiet conservation-area village between Arundel and the coast, its centre built up around a pond and green with a good number of period cottages, several Listed, in brick, flint and render. The conservation status means reroofing and repair work on the older cottages has to be handled with real care over materials and appearance — matching clay tile colour and profile, or replacing lead flashing to the correct specification, rather than defaulting to whatever's quickest, and the older properties often have complex, multi-pitched roofs with more valleys and junctions than a simple modern roof.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Walberton
Housing stock
Period cottages in brick, flint and render, several Listed, built up around a pond and green, plus later 20th-century housing. 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 — set slightly back from the coast, but still within reach of the South Downs. 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.
Planning & designation
Conservation area covers the village centre. On a listed building or within a conservation area or National Park, skylight style and position can be restricted, so this is worth checking before installation.
Access
Older properties often have complex, multi-pitched roofs typical of buildings extended piecemeal over a century or more. 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 Walberton — 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.
