Is "Velux" the only brand of roof window you fit?
Velux is the best-known brand and the term people commonly use for any pitched roof window, but we fit from a range of manufacturers depending on your budget and specification. We advise on the right product at survey.
Do roof windows need planning permission?
Most roof windows fall under permitted development, provided they don't project significantly beyond the roof plane and meet other standard criteria, but conservation areas and listed buildings can have additional restrictions. We confirm the position for your specific property before ordering.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
