A VELUX replacement in Durham is carefully planned around the existing opening, the roof covering and the finish inside the room.
- We identify the existing window size and code, then check the opening is sound and the flashing can be replaced.
- The old VELUX window is removed, the flashing is stripped back and the structural opening is checked.
- Internal trim is finished neatly to match the room, and the window is tested for smooth operation.
