Skylight and Velux window installation, replacement and leak repair for pitched and flat roofs.
Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Warnham
Warnham 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. Warnham is a conservation-area village just north-west of Horsham, its centre built up around the pond and parish church with timber-framed and tile-hung cottages typical of the Wealden vernacular style. The well-wooded character of the parish, including the nearby Warnham Local Nature Reserve, means older properties sit under a lot of tree cover — gutters clogging with leaf debris and moss taking hold on shaded roof slopes are the recurring issues here rather than storm damage, and matching hanging-tile patterns and colour on the older cottages needs particular care since a mismatched patch is immediately obvious on these frontages.

What Affects Roof Skylights & Velux Windows in Warnham
Housing stock
Timber-framed and tile-hung Wealden-vernacular cottages around the pond and church, several Listed, plus later residential development on the village edges. 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 — 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.
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
Tighter access around the historic centre; straightforward on the surrounding estate roads. 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 Warnham — 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.
