VELUX Window Replacement
Replace and Upgrade Your VELUX Windows
Your VELUX window has finally reached the end of its working life. But look on the “bright” side, you now have the option to upgrade. A standard new generation equivelent will be an improvement over any window manufactured before 2014 although we replace VELUX windows that are at least 25 years old and still functioning. A typical replacement installation of 1 to 5 windows is usually complete in 1 day with little disruption to you or your property.
Take a look at the products section to see what options VELUX have to offer.

How to find your VELUX product code
In most VELUX windows the product code can be found on the top edge of the window sash.
You will need to open the window to view the product code.
If you cannot open your window, then provide us with the size of the window frame internally.
All pitched roof windows will have a code starting with GGL, GPL, GGU etc followed by one to four numbers & letters. The combination of these letters and numbers make up most of the details. Any remaining numbers are related to the glazing and batch numbers. As you are replacing the window the existing glazing code is usually irrelevant.
Typical replacement VELUX window installation
The average new installation of 1-2 VELUX windows is completed in 1 day.
Step 1: Preparation
On arrival we prepare the work area with sufficient protection from dust and moisture. This also includes any floor protection to the access route.
Step 2: Removal of Old Windows
The existing opening sash, existing flashing kit, and existing window frame are removed for disposal. Existing tiles are removed and stacked ready for reuse.
Step 3: Preparation
Any necessary alterations are made to the existing structural opening to accept your new generation VELUX window.
Any damaged areas of the existing felt membrane and/or battens are repaired.
Step 4: Installation
Your replacement VELUX window frame is prepared and installed.
We always install genuine VELUX felt collars to reduce the chance of future water ingress.
Replacement VELUX window installations rarely allow room within the existing roof structure to add an Insulation collar. We do carry additional foil backed insulation which we endeavour to include where room permits but the insulation collar is designed with new installations in mind.
Step 5: Flashing Kit
Next we install the flashing kit, correctly chosen depending on your roof material to result in the neatest and most watertight finish.
Step 6: Plastering
Internal plaster reveals are now made good, depending on the alteration and damage caused in installation we often need to re-plaster some areas.
Step 7 (Optional): Redecoration
We can include redecorating to our installation cost but any re-plastered areas will need a return visit once sufficiently dry to paint.
Step 8: Product Runthrough
As we begin to clear the work area we like to take the time to run through your new VELUX windows operation with you and make sure you are familiar with its features.
Step 9: Cleanup
Clear work area and leave the property as it was on our arrival.
