Flat Roof With Velux Windows | Luton, Buckinghamshire
Project Overview
We recently completed a flat roof replacement in Luton, Buckinghamshire, which included the installation of new Velux roof windows. The existing flat roof had deteriorated over time, with ageing materials and underlying timber damage that required a full strip-out and rebuild. The client also wanted to improve natural light inside the property, making rooflight installation a key part of the project.
Before
The original flat roof showed clear signs of failure, including worn coverings and water damage to sections of the timber deck beneath. Insulation levels were poor, and the existing rooflight area required upgrading to ensure a watertight, long-lasting solution.
After
The finished flat roof now features a modern, durable roofing system with upgraded insulation and professionally installed Velux roof windows. The result is a clean, weatherproof finish that not only protects the property but also allows significantly more natural light into the living space below.
Project Breakdown
1. Strip Out & Assessment
The existing flat roof covering and damaged materials were carefully removed. Once exposed, the roof structure was fully inspected to identify and replace any compromised timbers.
2. Timber Repairs & Preparation
New treated timber joists and supports were installed where required to create a solid, level structure. The roof deck was then prepared to ensure it was suitable for the new flat roofing system.
3. Insulation & Decking
Upgraded insulation was installed to improve thermal performance and comply with current standards. New decking was fitted to provide a strong base for the roof covering.
4. Velux Roof Window Installation
Velux roof windows were installed and properly integrated into the roof structure. All detailing around the frames was completed carefully to ensure a fully watertight seal and long-term reliability.
5. Flat Roof Covering & Finishing
A high-quality flat roofing membrane was installed across the roof, finished neatly around all edges and rooflight details. Final checks were carried out to ensure complete weatherproofing and a clean finish.
End Result
This flat roof installation in Luton has transformed the space below, providing excellent weather protection, improved insulation, and enhanced natural light thanks to the new Velux windows. The roof is now built to perform reliably for many years with minimal maintenance.
