This was a 35 year old Velux window that had been leaking for years! I replaced it in a day and made my client, Frank a very happy man. Please see his comments on my reference page.
Replacement bungalow Velux window by Jackson Lofts, Brighton
Double glazing does not last forever, if yours has condensation on the inside of the panel this can be from a broken seal. Velux roof windows are still making the same sizes and the glass can easily be replaced.

Before a Jackson Loft conversion
You can check yourself by measuring the floor of your loft to the apex of your roof and this measurement is more than 7ft 6″ (2.3 metres, 90″ or 230cms) then you have a good chance of gaining the extra space you require. A consultation visit is FREE, I can help you with a ball park figure and ideas of how to get maximum space for your conversion.
Please email me through this contact form to organise a suitable time for me to pop round.
The cost depends on the size and requirements of the customer. When I make an initial visit to a customers house I listen to their needs and take measurements then I can produce an accurate quote.
I am very happy to give a ball park figure once most lofts are the same size and shape.

I am always asked this question and of course it varies on the size of your house. If it were an average, 3 bedroom terraced house, a Dormer loft conversion including a master bedroom and with an en-suite bathroom, this would take between 6 to 8 weeks.
