📞 Call Now: 0172 223 9611Velux window installation and flashing repair across Amesbury and surrounding SP4 villages. New roof light installation, EDW and BDX flashing replacement, leaking Velux diagnosis — and planning advice for properties in Amesbury's conservation areas or with permitted development restrictions.
The standard EDW flashing kit has a service life of 10–15 years in average UK conditions. Given exposed chalk plateau at 75m and open SP4 plateau, moderate wind exposure from the Plain, properties in Amesbury on exposed elevations or south-west-facing slopes — especially given nail sickness on concrete tile estates; lead valleys on Victorian town centre stock — experience shorter EDW service life. We recommend the upgraded BDX or BFX flashing kit on all exposed positions in the SP4 area for extended service life.
Most Velux installations fall within permitted development for Amesbury properties and do not require planning permission, subject to standard conditions (not projecting more than 150mm, not on principal highway-facing elevation). Properties within Amesbury's conservation areas or listed buildings have additional restrictions — we check the planning position for your specific property before any installation is confirmed.

📞 0172 223 9611Rooflights leak at the flashing kit, not usually the glass — so a leaking Velux is often a fitting or flashing problem rather than a faulty window.
When it is not the answer: A leaking rooflight often needs only a new flashing kit, not a whole new window — we'll check before quoting a replacement. Read the full guide.
We check the window, the flashing kit and the surrounding tiles or slates.
Itemised quote for a new flashing kit, a like-for-like swap, or a new install.
Usually a single day per rooflight.
We fit the window and manufacturer flashing kit, integrating it with the covering and underlay so it's fully weathertight.
Internal reveal made good if agreed, site cleared, guarantee handed over.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| New flashing kit only | Half a day |
| Like-for-like replacement | 1 day |
| New rooflight install | 1–2 days |
| Multiple rooflights | 2–3 days |
We keep the opening covered and weathertight at all times; heavy rain can pause a mid-swap.
Rooflight work runs from scaffold or a tower for safe access to the slope. Scaffold is specified for: new installs, multiple units, or steep slopes - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
A mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and large post-war and modern estates on the edges; nail sickness is common on the 1960s–70s concrete-tile stock. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council; allow a few working days on streets like Salisbury Street, the older High Street terraces where space is tight.

Covering SP4 and surrounding postcodes.
Velux and other branded units carry manufacturer warranties; our fitting is guaranteed for up to 10 years.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Some internal access needed and a little plaster make-good on new installs; external work is quick and tidy. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We plan installs around dry windows and never leave an opening exposed. Exposed Salisbury Plain edge location means wind-driven rain hits stacks and flashings hard.
