Not every ageing roof window needs full replacement. Upgrading the blind and flashing together is often enough to significantly improve both comfort and weather performance.
Why These Two Upgrades Go Together
Flashing upgrades address weather performance, while blind upgrades address comfort — heat gain, glare, and privacy. Doing both in the same visit is more cost-effective than treating them as separate jobs, since access and disruption overlap.
What a Flashing Upgrade Involves
- Removing and replacing ageing or damaged flashing
- Fitting the current manufacturer specification, not a like-for-like of an older standard
- Checking surrounding tiles or slate for any related wear
What a Blind Upgrade Involves
- Modern blackout or thermal blinds to manage heat and light
- Motorised or solar-powered options for hard-to-reach windows
- Matching the blind to the specific window model
