VELUX Window Services in Colchester

Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town, combines Roman history with Victorian terraces, garrison housing and modern developments. The town's varied property stock keeps our installers busy.

Colchester's older properties have traditional roofs, while its extensive modern estates feature tile. The town's conservation areas sometimes require sympathetic roof window choices.

Colchester's long history shows in its housing - period homes in the Dutch Quarter and around the town centre, Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like New Town and Lexden, and extensive 1930s and post-war development in Prettygate, Stanway and Highwoods.

Period properties around the historic core often have slate or clay peg-tile roofs, which can suit conservation-style roof windows, while the interwar semis and newer estates use standard concrete tiles. Essex weather is relatively dry, but older roofs still benefit from correctly fitted flashing kits - something we check on every job.

Most of the time we can assess your Colchester property using photos you send in. When an in-person survey is needed, we will attend your property.
