VELUX repair expertise for South Shields

In South Shields, VELUX repair expertise means understanding the Victorian and modern housing and how the conditions the window faces can affect seals, flashing and mechanisms over time.

  • Draughts can be caused by compressed seals or frame movement. We replace only the components that have failed.
  • Stiff or seized opening mechanisms are often caused by worn hinges or accumulated debris. We strip, clean and replace the parts that are actually worn.
  • We identify the exact cause of a leak before starting work, because water can enter through failed seals, flashings or the surrounding roof covering.
