Velux repairs in Eastbourne are usually a flashing fix at £200–£500 rather than a full unit replacement — in 80% of leak cases. New installations run £500–£900. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending work, with a 10-year guarantee on new fits. Call 01323 365960.
Roof window installation in Eastbourne requires care regardless of the property type. On Victorian and Edwardian properties in Meads and Old Town — where clay tile roofs are common — introducing a roof window means cutting into a load-bearing tile covering and correctly re-flashing around the new unit to prevent the leaks that are common after poor installation. The lead or aluminium flashing detail around a roof window is the critical junction: get it wrong and you'll have water ingress within a year, particularly given Eastbourne's wind-driven rainfall.
We install Velux and equivalent branded roof windows across Eastbourne, from single loft conversion lights to multiple-window installations on large loft extensions. We also service and repair existing Velux units — failed flashings and degraded seals are the most common cause of leaking roof windows, and in most cases the unit itself doesn't need replacing, just the installation detail around it.
