Need two replacement roof windows. I’m getting a new roof soon and the ones that are in are nearly 30 yrs old and a bit shabby. They’re velux GGL -7 and are roughly £600 each to buy. Is there a decent alternative or am i better off going with velux again ?

Hi, Im currently converting the loft for use as an occasional bedroom and storage space. Id like to get 3 windows installed in the ceiling. Are there alternatives to Velux? Are they as good? Thanks

We are planning a kitchen extension early next year, which will have a flat roof but we will retain a small pitched roof over the existing, small kitchen. Our plans show a couple of velux windows installed into the existing pitched roof but I was wondering if anyone had alternatives? I am...

Will soon be at roof level on my self build extension and plan to use three rooflights. Obviously the most well know brand is Velux, but there are many others on the market, and some are a lot cheaper. Will I be in for a lot of hassle if i go for a cheaper brand? I've been looking at Sunlux...

I have a wood velux roof window which is not accessible without a ladder as it faces down onto the landing. it is gathering a lot of condensation from the Bathroom below and a new bathroom fan hasn’t reduced the condensation at the bottom of the window. I want to know if I can retrofit a...

Hi, Just fitted 3 velux P10 GGL windows to my extension and also have the EDW flashing kits to fit. I notice the (useless) instructions show shopping baskets for what looks like insulation and other kits. I plan on just fitting some 20mm celotex around the outside to replace the insulation...

Hi, I have 3 Centre-Pivot Velux windows on a flat roof. For insurance purposes I have to have them key lockable as they are easily accessible. The Velux "click shut" system doesn't seem to satisfy them. Just looked at the Velux accessories page and they have a key lock for their...

I would like to block up a rather useless window (a shed 2ft from it) in the wall of a lean-to utility room, and replace with some form of roof light. I dont necessarily require it to be opening and am not keen on the "sticky uppy" look of velux windows. :shock: :lol: I did see whilst out...

Top hung velux GHL S06 window approx 6 years old The foam gasket for the flashing EDZ has perished and come away Is there a suitable alternative i can use? Was personally thinking of using either waterproof expanding foam or weather proof gutter/roof sealant or pipe lagging...

I have fitted my velux and have to refit the tiles. they are blue slate and one course will cut down perfectly to fit. the other alternate course has about 30mm left to be filled. Can i buy i wider size slate to fit this gap and cut it down if necessary. my slates are 260mm wide.

Hi. I have tiled around veluxes before but they have happened to be the right size or with very little trimming needed! This time though it has turned out though that on both sides of the velux there is alternating one row of nearly a full tile (fine) followed by a row if tiles less than 4...

Hi, I need a couple of Pitched Rooflights/Skylights, probably fixed (non-opening), and very approximately 80cm x 100cm. Velux are the market leader, so presumably rather expensive? Are there any alternative brands that are of entirely adequate quality, but cheaper? (Ubbink, Whitesales?) Are...

Fakro, Keylite but Velux are the best and spares are usually available many years after purchase, unlike the alternatives. Have you done a search? https://www.diynot.com/diy/search/11211386/?q=velux+alternative&o=relevance

Hi all, I'm looking for some roof windows for my extension. Any size velux style window with flashing kits. Can anyone recommend suppliers or alternative brands to velux? Thanks

Yes this happens quite alot with velux blinds, either due to wear and tear or heavy usage, the coil loses its taughtness and can loosen quite easily. There are fix guides on the net but if you want to replace the blind and dont want to pay full velux prices, just do a search for velux style...
