Velux Windows
Velux windows are an excellent way to introduce natural light, ventilation and additional space into a loft, attic, bedroom, home office or converted living area. However, like any part of a roof, a Velux window can eventually require maintenance, repairs or replacement. Damaged seals, leaking frames, worn flashing, broken handles and condensation can all affect the performance of a roof window.
At Storm Guard Roofing Solutions, we provide professional Velux window repair and installation services throughout Dublin and Meath, covering towns, villages and surrounding areas. We work with homeowners and property owners who need reliable solutions for leaking, damaged, outdated or poorly performing roof windows.
Velux Window Repair Services in Dublin and Meath
A damaged or leaking Velux window should not be ignored. Even a relatively small amount of water entering around a roof window can eventually contribute to damp, timber damage, staining, mould and deterioration of surrounding roof materials.
Our Velux window repair service is designed to identify the cause of the problem rather than simply treating the visible symptoms. A Velux window may appear to be leaking from the glass or frame when the actual problem is located elsewhere. Flashing, surrounding roof tiles, underlay and drainage channels can all influence how water reaches the inside of a property. A proper inspection is therefore important before deciding what work is required.
Common Velux window problems include:
• Leaking Velux windows
• Damaged or deteriorated seals
• Cracked or damaged glazing
• Faulty handles and locking mechanisms
• Problems opening or closing the window
• Damaged flashing
• Water ingress around the frame
• Condensation and moisture problems
• Draughts around the window
• Damaged or deteriorated external components
• Poorly installed roof windows
• Age-related deterioration
Professional Velux Window Installation Dublin
When an existing roof window has reached the end of its useful life, installing a new Velux window can provide a long-term improvement to the property.
At Storm Guard Roofing Solutions, we provide Velux window installation services for properties throughout Dublin and Meath. We can help establish the appropriate installation approach based on the roof, available space, existing window and requirements of the room.
A professionally installed roof window should provide effective weather protection while allowing natural daylight and ventilation into the property.
New Velux windows can be particularly beneficial in
• Attic conversions
• Loft bedrooms
• Home offices
• Converted roof spaces
• Bathrooms
• Landing areas
• Stairwells
• Extensions
• Existing rooms with limited natural light
Replacing Old Velux Windows
Older roof windows can become increasingly difficult to maintain. Frames, seals, flashing and opening mechanisms may deteriorate over time, while older glazing may provide less effective insulation than modern alternatives.
If a Velux window is repeatedly leaking or requires ongoing repairs, replacement may be a more practical long-term solution.
We can assess the condition of the existing installation and advise whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate option.
Velux Window Leak Repair
A leaking Velux window is one of the most common reasons homeowners contact a roofing contractor. Water ingress can occur for several reasons, meaning it is important to establish precisely where the problem originates.
Potential causes include damaged flashing, failed seals, deteriorated roofing materials around the window, blocked drainage channels or an installation that has deteriorated over time.
Signs that a Velux window may require attention include:
• Water marks on ceilings
• Damp patches around the window
• Drips during heavy rainfall
• Staining around the frame
• Damp plaster or timber
• Mould developing near the window
• Persistent condensation
• Draughts
• Difficulty opening or closing the window
