A room under a pitched roof can get uncomfortably warm and prone to condensation, and the roof window is often the simplest place to address it.
Why Ventilation Matters More Than People Expect
Roof spaces are particularly prone to heat build-up and condensation, since heat rises and roof surfaces absorb solar heat throughout the day. Proper ventilation through the roof window is often the most effective fix, without needing separate mechanical ventilation.
Upgrade Options
- Converting a fixed window to an opening one where structurally possible
- Trickle vents integrated into the window frame
- Motorised opening for windows that are hard to reach
- Rain sensors that close the window automatically if it starts raining
How We Approach a Ventilation Upgrade
- Assess the current ventilation situation. Understanding what's actually causing the stuffiness or condensation.
- Recommend the right upgrade. Not necessarily the most expensive option — whatever genuinely solves the problem.
- Install and test. Confirming the upgrade works as intended before finishing.
