Velux and skylight work in Maidstone is driven by the county town's steady flow of loft conversions and kitchen extensions. Whether it's rooflights bringing light into a new loft room, a lantern over an extension, or re-flashing a leaking existing unit, the difference between a skylight that lasts and one that leaks is entirely in the flashing.
The signs a Maidstone roof needs attention are familiar enough: you are converting a loft or extending and want natural light; an existing rooflight that has started to leak around the frame; a tired or single-glazed skylight you want upgraded for insulation.
On Maidstone roofs, the rooflight signs are a loft conversion or extension that needs natural light, an existing skylight leaking around the frame (usually a flashing fault), and tired single-glazed units worth upgrading for insulation. Matching the flashing kit to your covering is what makes the difference between a lasting rooflight and a leaking one.
The judgement that matters in Maidstone rooflight work is matching the flashing kit to the covering — and, first, whether an existing unit needs re-flashing or replacing.
When it is not needed: If an existing Velux is sound and only the flashing has failed, a re-flash is far cheaper than a full replacement - we will fix rather than replace where sensible. More on repair versus replacement.
Across Maidstone, rooflight work means new Velux openings in loft conversions, flat-roof rooflights and lanterns on kitchen extensions, like-for-like replacements, and re-flashing leaking units. The stock ranges from Victorian terraces to modern estates, so the covering the rooflight flashes into varies. We fit the correct flashing kit for each covering, trim the opening properly, and seal for a lasting, watertight result.
A recent Week Street job was textbook loft-conversion work: new rooflights trimmed into a Victorian terrace roof, flashed with the correct kit for the natural slate. Properly trimmed and sealed, they flood the new room with light and stay watertight — the flashing matched to the covering.
We work Maidstone every week, so a rooflight here is fitted by a roofer who knows Week Street, Bank Street, Tonbridge Road and the local roofs first-hand — the right unit and flashing for the roofs and setting on these streets, not a one-size approach.

Across Maidstone, rooflight work means new Velux openings in loft conversions, flat-roof rooflights and lanterns on kitchen extensions, like-for-like replacements, and re-flashing leaking units. The stock ranges from Victorian terraces to modern estates, so the covering the rooflight flashes into varies. We fit the correct flashing kit for each covering, trim the opening properly, and seal for a lasting, watertight result.
Maidstone rooflight work is straightforward when the flashing kit matches the covering and the opening is trimmed properly, and that is precisely where the common failures lie. A unit fitted with the wrong kit for the covering, or into a poorly-trimmed opening, leaks regardless of how good the rooflight itself is. We match the flashing to the covering — natural slate, plain tile or concrete interlocking — trim and seal the opening correctly, and re-flash leaking units with the right kit. The result is a rooflight that lasts and stays watertight rather than one that leaks within a season because the flashing was never right for the roof.
We assess the roof, the light you want, and the covering the rooflight will flash into — on Maidstone roofs, matching the flashing kit to slate, plain tile or interlocking is central to a lasting fit.
You get an itemised quote specifying the rooflight, the correct flashing kit for your covering, and any trimming, priced clearly with no obligation.
We trim the opening properly for a new rooflight, or prepare the reveal for a like-for-like replacement, ready for a watertight fit.
We fit the unit with the matched flashing kit, seal the frame, and finish the reveal, so the rooflight is watertight and lets in the light cleanly.
We clear the site, check the unit operates and seals, walk it with you, and hand over the guarantee and material warranty.
