At Insight Property Solutions, our team of experienced roofing specialists in Manchester have installed numerous Velux windows to tiled roofs throughout the city and surrounding areas. In this article, we will guide you through the process of fitting a Velux window to a tiled roof.

Before you start, it's essential to select the right Velux window for your tiled roof. Consider factors such as the size of the window, the type of glazing, and the energy efficiency. Our team at Insight Property Solutions can help you choose the perfect Velux window for your needs.

To install a Velux window, you'll need to remove the existing roof tiles around the area where the window will be fitted. Use a hammer and chisel to carefully remove the tiles, taking note of the location of the battens underneath.

Once the tiles are removed, you'll need to remove the battens around the area where the window will be fitted. This will give you access to the roof space and allow you to install the Velux window frame.

Use a saw to create a gap in the roof for the Velux window frame. The gap should be slightly larger than the frame to allow for easy installation.

Place the Velux window frame into the gap, ensuring it's level and secure. Use screws to attach the frame to the surrounding battens.

Once the frame is installed, you can install the Velux window. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, and ensure the window is securely attached to the frame.

To ensure a watertight seal, add flashing around the Velux window. This will direct water away from the window and prevent leaks.
