VELUX Roof Windows Brighton & Sussex
VELUX roof windows for brighter lofts and living spaces
Bring natural light and ventilation into loft conversions, bedrooms, bathrooms and pitched-roof extensions with VELUX roof windows professionally supplied and installed across Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
Light Into the Roof
Make loft rooms brighter, lighter and easier to ventilate
Roof windows are an effective way to bring natural light into rooms positioned beneath a pitched roof, particularly where conventional vertical windows are limited or not practical.
Because the glazing faces towards the sky, a well-positioned roof window can introduce daylight directly into loft conversions, bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices and pitched-roof extensions.
Sussex Window Works supplies and installs VELUX roof windows for both new projects and the replacement of existing roof windows across Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area.
Why Choose VELUX?
Practical roof windows for everyday living
Combine overhead daylight, useful ventilation and a roof-window system designed specifically for pitched-roof applications.
More daylight
Roof-level glazing can bring useful natural light directly into rooms beneath pitched roofs.
Fresh air
Opening roof windows can provide useful ventilation for bedrooms, bathrooms, loft rooms and extensions.
Purpose-designed system
VELUX manufactures roof-window systems designed to work with suitable roof coverings and matching installation components.
Modern glazing
Different glazing specifications are available depending on the required thermal, acoustic and safety performance of the project.
Replacement options
Older roof windows can often be replaced with modern VELUX units, subject to the existing opening, roof and installation details.
Professional fitting
Correct sizing, flashing, insulation and roof detailing are important parts of a successful roof-window installation.
Why We Fit VELUX
A complete system for a demanding part of the building
A roof window has to work as part of the roof itself, so the window, flashing and surrounding installation details all matter.
Roof Integration
Designed specifically for roof installation
Roof windows need to manage weather exposure, insulation, ventilation and regular operation while remaining properly integrated with the surrounding roof covering.
- Purpose-designed roof windows
- Compatible flashing systems
- Glazing and operating options
- Replacement solutions for many existing installations
Complete Specification
The window is only part of the installation
Selecting the appropriate roof window is important, but so are the roof pitch, covering, flashing, insulation and internal finishing around it. We assess the project before confirming the final specification.
- Window sized for the opening
- Flashing selected for the roof covering
- Project-specific glazing and operation
- Installation details checked at survey
Existing VELUX Windows
Replace ageing roof windows with modern VELUX units
If an existing roof window is difficult to operate, draughty, misted, damaged or simply approaching the end of its useful life, replacing the complete unit may be the more practical option. We assess the existing window, opening and roof covering before specifying the replacement.
Identify the existing window
Existing VELUX identification details, window size and roof opening can help determine the appropriate replacement route.
Check the surrounding roof
The roof covering, flashing and surrounding installation details are checked rather than assuming the existing arrangement can simply be reused.
Update the specification
A replacement gives the opportunity to consider current glazing, finish and operating options appropriate to the room.
Where VELUX Windows Work
Natural light for rooms beneath pitched roofs
Roof windows can be used in new projects and existing rooms where the roof design and structure make them appropriate.
Loft Conversions
Bring daylight and ventilation into bedrooms, offices and living spaces created within the roof.
Bathrooms
A suitable opening roof window can provide natural light and useful ventilation in bathrooms positioned beneath pitched roofs.
Extensions
Pitched-roof extensions can use roof windows to introduce daylight further into the room below.
Bedrooms
Roof windows can provide daylight, ventilation and an outlook from bedrooms located within the roof space.
Home Offices
Overhead daylight and opening ventilation can make converted roof spaces more practical for everyday working.
Replacement Projects
Existing VELUX roof windows can often be replaced when older units become worn, damaged or difficult to operate.

VELUX Roof Window FAQs
Common questions about VELUX roof windows
Can you replace an existing VELUX roof window?
Yes. Existing VELUX roof windows can often be replaced with modern units. The current window, opening, roof covering and installation details need to be checked first so the appropriate replacement can be specified.
Can you replace an old electric VELUX window with a manual one?
In some situations, yes. Rather than trying to convert an ageing electric unit, a complete replacement with a suitable manually operated VELUX roof window may be possible. The existing window and installation need to be surveyed first.
Are VELUX roof windows energy efficient?
Modern VELUX roof windows are available with insulated glazing and thermally improved specifications. Exact performance depends on the selected window, glazing and complete installation.
Can VELUX roof windows be electrically or solar operated?
Electric and solar-powered operation is available on suitable VELUX products. The appropriate option depends on the window type, position and project specification.
What is the difference between a VELUX roof window and a flat rooflight?
The VELUX roof windows covered on this page are intended for suitable pitched-roof applications and can provide opening ventilation. Flat rooflights are designed for flat or low-pitched roof applications and create a different style of overhead glazing.
Can several VELUX roof windows be installed together?
Potentially, yes. Depending on the roof structure, available space and project design, multiple roof windows can be arranged together to create a larger area of overhead glazing.
Can you create a completely new VELUX roof-window opening?
New roof-window installations may be possible where the roof structure, covering and relevant project requirements allow. Creating a new opening can involve structural and regulatory considerations, so the individual project needs to be assessed before work is confirmed.
Do you install VELUX roof windows in Brighton, Hove and across Sussex?
Yes. Sussex Window Works supplies and installs VELUX roof windows throughout Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lewes, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and surrounding Sussex areas.
