Paul Fearns, Roofing Services Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Hi there, Paul from Roofing Services Edinburgh here. No, a roofing company doesn't have to be a registered installer to fit a Velux window. The advice I can give you is to get someone local to you here on Checkatrade and have a look at any they have fitted, look at reviews etc. Also, roofing companies regularly pick up windows and flashing kits at a reasonably lower price than the Velux website, so keep this in mind when getting quotes. However, they will need time to go and pick the window etc up from their local merchants, so don't expect too much of a discount on the window but keep it in mind. Don't have anyone tell you a window cost without seeing it with your own eyes what you're paying for. Also, get three quotes to compare prices. Best of luck, Paul.

No it doesn’t, but be mindful that the flashing kit installed after installation of the Velux window must be also from Velux otherwise this may affect any warranty received!

Gareth Styles, GJS Roofing and Building Maintenance Ltd, Salisbury

You don’t need to be a registered installer, but anyone installing a Velux must take before and after pictures so if the window or flashings fail you have proof of fitting.

Peter Rychtowski, Peters Handy Man Services NI, Maghera

Just check the Velux terms and conditions of warranty first. Many producers hold rights to cancel the warranty if is not installed by one of the register fitters.
