Skylight Installation in Stow-on-the-Wold

Stow-on-the-Wold stands higher than any other Cotswold town, and its weathered stone roofs have stood up to the wind off the wolds for centuries. Adding daylight to a building like that is not a job to rush, and we do not rush it.

Aspect Skylights is a specialist installer working out of Cheltenham, and Stow is a familiar destination for us up the Fosse Way. We handle new skylight installs and full replacements only. That narrow focus is the whole point — it is what lets us get the awkward details right on roofs that have seen a lot of weather.

The work we carry out

Whether you want a single window or a feature for an open-plan kitchen, we can match the product to your roof:

• Conservation rooflight installation — the natural choice for Stow’s historic stone roofs.
• VELUX window installation for loft conversions and upper rooms.
• Roof lantern installation over rear and side extensions.
• Flat roof skylight installation for modern flat-roofed additions.

Our services page lays out the full range if you want to weigh up the options.

Why a specialist matters in Stow

So much of Stow falls within the conservation area, and there are listed buildings around the market square and along the streets that run off it, that there is little room for a rooflight that looks bolted on. A flush conservation rooflight, sitting low in a steep stone slope, reads as part of the roof rather than an addition. Knowing how to achieve that — and how to keep the opening watertight on an exposed, high-up roof — is the kind of thing that only comes from doing this work and nothing else.

Stone roofs and exposed sites

Stow’s elevation means weather is a real consideration. We pay particular attention to flashing and upstand detail so that wind-driven rain stays outside where it belongs. On the older roofs we will steer you towards conservation rooflights that respect the line of the slope; on newer homes towards the edge of the town, larger glazing or a lantern is often on the table. Where a property is listed, we will talk through consent before anything is ordered.
