Roof Windows

Flat roof windows can be installed on flat roofs and low pitched roofs. Our team has fitted many flat roof windows across Norwich and it is a great way of increasing the light into a room like a kitchen. The installation of flat roof windows can be very simple. First we would need to inspect your roof to ensure it is suitable for roof window installation and what type of sizes would be possible. Once you have decided on the size the team would cut of a section of your roof for the window and build support to install the window into. After the window is fitted everything is sealed off to ensure the area and window is watertight. The team can then make any internal finishing touches such as plaster boarding the reveals and painting.

Roof Skylights

Velux windows are a popular choice for homes in Norwich. They are known for their quality and versatility. Similar to all our roof installation work we would have to assess your roof to ensure if it suitable for a Velux window and also the best location. A section of your roof will be stripped so that we can build a support, fitted the flashing kit and then the Velux roof window itself. The tiles will then be refitted around the window ensuring the area is water tight and everything is neat and tidy. Once all the Velux roof skylight is fitted and everything is competed externally the roofing team can then do the internal finishing touches such as plasterboard and painting.

Roof lanterns can transform rooms such as kitchens and dining rooms. They add a modern and elegant look as well as letting in a large of light. Roof lanterns can be quite heavy so our roofers would first need to assess your roof to ensure if can hold the weight of a roof lantern. If everything ok our team would start by cutting out sections in the flat roof where the roof lantern will be fitted. A support and upstand will be made to hold the weight and fit the roof lantern on. The lantern will then be constructed and fitted to the newly build structure. The outside of the lantern will be sealed to ensure everything is water tight.

The Point Roofing team was chosen by Long Stratton High School to install 6 modern flat roof glass windows and 12 roof dome units. 

The project was very complex as the old windows were very large measuring 2 metres by 3 metres. so they needed something the same size installed. Due to the sizes the windows where very large and specialist lifting equipment was needed to get the windows on the roof and into place.
