Conservation Roof Windows York (Planning Compliant)
If you live in a Conservation Area (such as Bootham, The Mount, or Clifton), you cannot simply install a standard white window. You are often required to fit Conservation Roof Windows.
We are the local experts in supplying and fitting these specific units.
- The Look: They feature a black vertical glazing bar and sit flush with the roofline to mimic traditional cast-iron skylights.
- The Fit: We use recessed flashing kits to ensure the window doesn’t protrude, satisfying local planning officers.
- The Service: We can guide you on the correct model to ensure your renovation is fully compliant.
Specialist Flashing for York Stone Roofs
Many homes in York and the surrounding villages (like Haxby and Strensall) feature heavy Yorkshire Stone slates rather than modern tiles.
Warning: A general builder may try to use a standard ‘universal’ flashing kit on these roofs. This will leak. As specialist roof window installers in York, we use dedicated Plain Tile & Slate Flashing Kits with extended soakers. This ensures a watertight seal even against the uneven surface of thick stone slates, protecting your heritage property from damp for decades.
Velux Replacement York: No Scaffolding Required
Living in the tight terraced streets of Clementhorpe or Leeman Road? We know that erecting scaffolding on the pavement is a logistical nightmare and an expensive hassle.
Our team are expert loft window fitters in York who use the ‘Inside-Out’ replacement technique.
- We work from the inside: Replacing the unit entirely from the loft.
- We save you money: No scaffolding fees (saving you £500+).
- We take the mess away: Full disposal of your old timber frame and glass included.
Skylight Repair York & Glass Upgrades
Old windows in York often suffer from ‘blown’ glass units due to the age of the housing stock. If your view of the Minster is ruined by condensation between the panes, you don’t always need a full replacement.
We provide a dedicated repair service:
- Reglazing Service: We swap old, misty glass for new Velux Low-E panes (keeping the heat in).
- Leak Detection: We identify if the leak is the window or the surrounding slate work.
- Mechanism Service: Greasing springs and hinges on older windows to extend their life.

York Velux Installation FAQs
Do I need scaffolding to replace a Velux window in York?
In 95% of cases, no. Our technicians are trained to replace roof windows entirely from the inside of the room. This is perfect for terraced streets like those in South Bank or The Groves, saving you the cost and hassle of pavement permits.
Can I install a standard Velux in a York Conservation Area?
Often, no. If you live in areas like Bootham or The Mount, the Council usually requires ‘Conservation Roof Windows’. These have a black vertical glazing bar and sit flush with the roof. We specialise in supplying and fitting these compliant units.
My roof is Yorkshire Stone. Will a standard flashing kit work?
Yorkshire Stone is thick and uneven. We use specialised ‘Plain Tile’ or ‘Slate’ flashing kits with extended soakers to ensure a watertight fit on heritage roofs.
My window is misty but the frame is fine. Do I need a new one?
Not necessarily. If the timber frame is healthy, we can offer a ‘Reglazing Service’. We remove the old blown glass unit and install a new, energy-efficient pane, which is much cheaper than a full replacement. This will be dependent on the age of your window.
Do you cover villages outside the ring road?
Yes. Our vans cover the entire YO postcode area, including Haxby, Wigginton, Copmanthorpe, Poppleton, and Strensall daily.
