VELUX Window Installation in Gloucester

Gloucester has no shortage of homes crying out for daylight from above — the bay-fronted Victorian terraces around Kingsholm and Tredworth, the post-war semis of Longlevens, and the newer estates spreading out through Quedgeley and Abbeymead. A well-fitted VELUX roof window is one of the most cost-effective ways to lift any of them, and it is the job we are asked for most across the city.

The unit is excellent — the fit is everything

VELUX make a superb roof window, but the long-term result comes down to the installation. A square opening, the right flashing kit for your tiles or slates, properly insulated reveals and a clean weatherproof finish are what keep the window working sweetly and bone-dry for years. We install roof windows every week across Gloucester and the surrounding villages, so those details are second nature — and every job carries a written guarantee on our workmanship.

The right VELUX for the room

• Centre-pivot — the dependable loft choice, simple to open and clean, perfect for bedrooms and studies.
• Top-hung — swings outward for a clear view and more space beneath, ideal lower down the roof slope.
• Electric INTEGRA — remote opening with a rain sensor, made for windows you cannot easily reach.
• Solar-powered — the same hands-off convenience with no cabling; see our solar-powered skylight installation.

We fit VELUX products alongside other quality brands, advising on glazing and blinds to suit how each room faces and feels.

New installs and replacements

We install new VELUX windows into Gloucester loft conversions and pitched-roof extensions, and we replace older units that have started to mist, draught or jam — a frequent call-out in the city’s many converted Victorian and Edwardian roofs. We are installs-and-replacements specialists, not a repair service: where a window has failed, a clean modern replacement is the lasting answer. See our skylight replacement service for the detail.

Older Gloucester roofs & building regs

Many Gloucester homes have steep Victorian roofs and original timber structures, which is exactly where a specialist earns their keep — the opening has to be formed cleanly without compromising the rafters, and the glazing has to meet current Part L energy standards and, where required, Part K safety glazing. We handle all of that, and we will flag anything your roof structure needs before we quote.

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.
