VELUX Window Installation in Winchcombe

Winchcombe is a historic Cotswold wool town of mellow stone, steep tiled and stone-slate roofs and centuries-old buildings lining North Street and Gloucester Street. Adding daylight to a roof here calls for a sympathetic touch, and a carefully fitted VELUX window does it without disturbing the character. It is the roof-glazing job we are asked for most across the town, and an easy run out from our Cheltenham base.

The fit is everything on an old roof

VELUX engineer a superb window, but on Winchcombe’s historic stone roofs the installation is what counts. The opening has to be cut square without disturbing old timbers, the flashing kit matched to natural stone slates or tiles, and every edge sealed against Cotswold weather. We install roof windows every week, so those details are routine — and every job carries a written guarantee on our workmanship.

The right VELUX for the room

• Centre-pivot — the loft staple, easy to open and clean, ideal for bedrooms and studies.
• Top-hung — opens outward for an unbroken view over the town and more headroom beneath.
• Electric INTEGRA — remote opening with a rain sensor for windows out of easy reach.
• Solar-powered — the same convenience with no cabling; see our solar-powered skylight installation.

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

Sensitive to a historic town

Much of Winchcombe sits within a conservation area, with listed buildings throughout the old streets. Roof windows in the plane of the roof often fall under permitted development, but conservation and listed status can change that — frequently pointing to a conservation-style VELUX with a central glazing bar and a recessed finish that sits low and quiet on a stone-slate roof. We always check your property’s status before quoting, and take care to keep any work in keeping with the building.

New installs and replacements

We fit new VELUX windows into loft conversions and pitched-roof extensions, and we replace older units that have misted, draughted or jammed. We are installs-and-replacements specialists, not a repair service — where a window has failed, a clean replacement is the lasting answer. See our skylight replacement service.

Indicative cost

Price depends on the unit, the glazing and access, 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.
