Installing a Velux window in a tiled roof can be a fantastic way to bring natural light and ventilation into your home. At Taylored Roofing, our team of expert roofers in Barnsley have years of experience in fitting Velux windows to tiled roofs. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of how to fit a Velux window to a tiled roof in Barnsley.

Before starting the installation, it's essential to ensure that your roof is in good condition. Our team will inspect your roof to check for any damaged or missing tiles, and make any necessary repairs. We will also check the structural integrity of your roof to ensure that it can support the weight of the Velux window.

Velux offers a range of windows to suit different roof types and pitches. Our team will help you choose the right window for your tiled roof, taking into account factors such as the size of the window, the pitch of the roof, and the type of tiles used.

Once we have chosen the right window, we will mark the frame of the window on the roof. This involves measuring the size of the window and marking the area where the frame will be installed.

Using a circular saw or a tile cutter, we will carefully create an opening in the roof for the Velux window. We will ensure that the opening is the correct size and shape for the window frame.

The JSS is a system used to install Velux windows in tiled roofs. It consists of a series of brackets that are attached to the roof rafters and provide a secure base for the window frame. Our team will install the JSS, ensuring that it is level and secure.

With the JSS installed, we will then install the window frame. This involves attaching the frame to the JSS brackets and ensuring that it is level and secure.

The flashing is a critical component of the installation, as it provides a watertight seal around the window. Our team will install the flashing, ensuring that it is securely attached to the roof and the window frame.
