VELUX Window Installation in Stroud

Stroud’s hillside terraces and converted mills make for some of the most characterful — and steepest — roofs in Gloucestershire. From the stone cottages climbing out of the town centre to the loft rooms carved into properties around Rodborough and Cainscross, daylight from above transforms a space. A well-fitted VELUX roof window is the most popular way to bring it in, and it is the job we are asked for most across the five valleys.

Steep roofs reward a specialist

VELUX make an excellent window, but on Stroud’s steep-pitched stone roofs the installation is everything. The opening has to be cut square without weakening old rafters, the flashing kit matched to natural stone tiles or slate, and every edge sealed against weather that the valleys can throw at a roof. We fit roof windows every week, so we get those details right — and back every job with a written guarantee on our workmanship.

The right VELUX for your room

• Centre-pivot — the loft classic, simple to open and clean, ideal for bedrooms and studios.
• Top-hung — opens outward for an unbroken valley view and more headroom beneath.
• Electric INTEGRA — remote opening with a rain sensor, made for high or hard-to-reach windows.
• Solar-powered — the same convenience with no cabling to run; see our solar-powered skylight installation.

We install VELUX products alongside other quality brands, advising on glazing and blinds to suit each room and aspect.

Cotswold stone & conservation

Stroud sits at the edge of the Cotswolds, and many homes are in conservation areas or built of natural stone where the roof has to look right as well as work right. Roof windows in the plane of the roof often fall under permitted development, but conservation status can change that and may favour a conservation-style VELUX with a recessed, central-bar finish. We always check your property’s status before quoting.

New installs and replacements

We install new VELUX windows into loft conversions and pitched-roof extensions, and we replace older units that have misted, draughted or jammed — common in the town’s many converted mill and cottage roofs. We specialise in installs and full replacements, not repairs: a clean replacement is the lasting fix for a failed window. See our skylight replacement service.

Indicative cost

Price depends on the unit, the glazing and access — and steep valley roofs sometimes need extra access provision — so we give a fixed written quote after a survey. As an indicative 2026 guide for a supplied-and-installed VELUX window:

• Manual centre-pivot (like-for-like swap): from approximately £900–£1,600
• New install into an existing roof: from approximately £1,300–£2,200
• Electric or solar opening unit: from approximately £1,500–£2,600

These are indicative ranges only — your real price is a fixed written quote after a survey. Roof type, glazing upgrades, blinds and access affect the figure, and we set it all out clearly before any work starts.
