Are you looking to add natural light and ventilation to your home in Bristol? Installing a Velux window can be a great way to do so. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to fit a Velux window to a tiled roof in the City of Bristol.

Before you start the installation process, it's essential to choose the right Velux window for your home. Consider factors such as the size of the window, the type of glazing, and the frame material. Velux offers a wide range of windows that cater to different needs and budgets.

Before you begin the installation process, ensure that you have the following materials:

• Velux window
• Flashing kit
• Roofing felt
• Tiles
• Frame
• Waterproof sealant
  It's also crucial to check the weather forecast and ensure that the roof is clear of debris.

Measure the size of the Velux window and mark the center point on the roof. Use a spirit level to ensure that the mark is straight.

Use a saw to cut a hole in the roof, following the mark you made earlier. Ensure that the hole is slightly larger than the Velux window.

The flashing kit is designed to provide a watertight seal around the Velux window. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the flashing kit.

Place the Velux window into the hole, ensuring that it's centered and secure. Use the frame to hold the window in place.

Cut a piece of roofing felt to fit around the Velux window, overlapping the edges by 150mm. Use a staple gun to secure the felt in place.
