Velux roof window and skylight installation across North London. Flood your home with light — expertly flashed and guaranteed.
Natural light transforms living spaces, and skylights are one of the most effective ways to brighten rooms in North London's terraced housing. We install the full Velux range with meticulous flashing that prevents the leaks that plague poorly fitted installations.
Hampstead ranks among London's most valuable residential areas with housing spanning four centuries. Georgian cottages in Flask Walk have steep-pitched roofs with original handmade clay peg tiles. Grand Victorian and Edwardian houses along Fitzjohn's Avenue feature complex slate roofs with copper detailing. The conservation area imposes strict material requirements — synthetic slates and concrete tiles are routinely refused by Camden planners. The right Velux specification depends on your roof pitch, room function, and ventilation needs. Centre-pivot windows suit the standard 25–45° pitches found on most Hampstead houses. Top-hung windows work on lower-pitch roofs (15–55°) and allow better views when furniture sits beneath. For Hampstead's period properties, conservation-style Velux windows with a recessed profile sit almost flush with the roof surface, reducing visual impact.
More Velux leaks in Hampstead are caused by poor flashing than by faulty windows. We use the correct Velux flashing kit for your specific tile type — EDW for recessed installation with flat tiles, EDZ for high-profile tiles, EDP for plain tiles. Each kit is designed for a specific tile profile and installing the wrong one creates gaps that leak. On Hampstead High Street, Heath Street, Flask Walk, Fitzjohn's Avenue, Haverstock Hill, Frognal and surrounding streets, where we've fitted dozens of Velux windows, we know exactly which kit each property type needs.
Most Velux installations in Hampstead fall under permitted development — no planning permission needed. However, if your Hampstead property is in a conservation area, if the windows face a highway, or if the property is listed, you may need permission. Rear-facing roof windows are generally less restricted than front-facing ones. We advise on the specific requirements for your property and can submit planning applications where needed.

Stringent conservation area material restrictions make every repair in Hampstead more complex and expensive than equivalent work elsewhere. Extreme property values demand flawless finish quality. Handmade tile matching on 18th-century cottages, copper and lead theft risk on high-value properties, and complex access logistics in narrow village lanes and steep terrain are all defining challenges.

"Two Velux windows installed in our bedroom roof slope. Properly flashed with the correct Velux kit — not generic flashing. Floods the room with light and zero leaks."
"Replaced an old, leaking skylight with a new Velux centre-pivot. The difference in natural light is remarkable. Properly flashed and sealed — watertight from day one."
"Sun tunnel installation in our dark hallway. They cut through the roof, fitted the flexible tunnel, and sealed it all in under a day. Transformed a gloomy space."

Spring (March–May): The ideal time for a professional inspection in Hampstead. Winter damage is visible — cracked mortar, displaced tiles, failed flashings — and you're ahead of the autumn storm season. Book a free inspection now and address any issues before they worsen over summer.
Summer (June–August): The best conditions for major roofing work in Hampstead. Dry weather allows full strip-and-retile projects, flat roof installations, and chimney rebuilds. Lead work is easier in warm temperatures when the metal is more malleable. If you're planning a roof replacement, summer is the optimal window.
Autumn (September–November): Clear gutters and valleys of leaf debris — critical in Hampstead's tree-lined streets. Check ridge tiles and flashings before winter storms arrive. A pre-winter roof check costs nothing (we do it free) and can prevent expensive emergency repairs in December and January.
Winter (December–February): Emergency repairs only where possible. Frost, ice, and short days limit what can be safely done on a roof. However, if you have an active leak or storm damage, we respond same-day regardless of conditions. Call 0203 538 0907 any time — 24/7 emergency line.
