A1 Roofing Bracknell

At Riverside Building and Roofing Ltd, we understand the importance of proper installation when it comes to Velux windows. As a trusted roofing contractor in Bracknell, Berkshire, we have extensive experience in fitting Velux windows to tiled roofs in Windsor and Maidenhead. In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing a Velux window to a tiled roof, ensuring a safe and secure installation.

Before starting the installation, ensure that the roof is structurally sound and suitable for the Velux window. Check for any signs of damage or wear and tear, and address any issues before proceeding.

Measure the width of the Velux window and mark the center point on the roof. Use a spirit level to ensure the mark is straight and level. Measure 150mm from the center point and mark the location of the mounting bracket.

Remove the tiles and batten from the marked area, taking care not to damage the surrounding tiles. Use a hammer and chisel to carefully remove the old batten, and set aside for later use.

Place the mounting bracket on the roof, ensuring it is centered and level. Use screws to attach the bracket to the roof, making sure they are securely fastened.

Carefully place the Velux window into the mounting bracket, ensuring it is securely fastened. Use the provided screws to attach the window to the bracket.

Cut the flashing to the required length, leaving a 50mm overlap at the top and bottom. Place the flashing over the Velux window, ensuring it is securely fastened to the roof. Use screws to attach the flashing to the roof, making sure they are securely fastened.

Reinstall the tiles and batten, ensuring they are securely fastened to the roof. Use a hammer and chisel to carefully tap the tiles into place.
