Velux window repaired properly - whether it's leaking, sticking, or the handle's snapped off. Most issues are fixable without replacing the whole unit, saving you serious money.
### Don't Replace When You Can Repair
Velux windows are **expensive to replace**. The good news? Most problems can be fixed for a fraction of the cost.
Leaking? Usually failed seals or flashing. Handle broken? £15 part, 20 minutes to fit. Window won't close properly? Worn hinges or gear mechanism - both replaceable.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Velux windows are incredibly well-made. With the right parts and a bit of know-how, even 20-year-old windows can be brought back to perfect working order.

### Why Professional Repair Matters
**Working at height safely** - Velux windows mean ladders or loft access. I've got the kit to do it safely.
**Right parts first time** - Velux use specific parts for different models and years. I'll identify your window code and get the correct parts.
**Leak testing** - Not just fitting new seals - I test properly to make sure water can't get in.

### Perfect For Your Project If...
✅ **Handle's broken** - snapped clean off or won't turn properly
✅ **Window leaking** - water marks on the frame or ceiling below
✅ **Hard to open** - needs two hands and brute force to operate
✅ **Won't stay open** - gravity wins and it slams shut

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Quick wins first:** Handle broken? That's a 30-minute job I can often do same-day. No point suffering with a broken window when the fix is that quick. **Multiple Velux windows?** If you've got several needing attention, we'll do them together and save you on the call-out. **Old Exeter properties?** Velux windows in converted lofts are common here. I've worked on hundreds - from Victorian terraces to 1970s bungalows. Each generation has its quirks. **Winter coming?** Leaking Velux? Get it sorted before the heavy rain. Water damage to the ceiling below costs way more than a £60 seal replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions about Velux window repair in Teignmouth
What's usually wrong with Velux windows?
Most issues are handles that have snapped, seals that have perished (causing leaks), or hinges that have worn out making them hard to open. All fixable without replacing the whole window.
Can you fix my leaking Velux?
Yes - most Velux leaks are seal failure or flashing issues. I'll check both, replace seals if needed, and make sure the flashing kit is doing its job. Nine times out of ten it's a much cheaper fix than you'd think.
Do you carry Velux parts with you?
I carry common handles and seals, but if your window needs a specific hinge or gear mechanism I'll measure up and order the exact part. Velux parts are usually next-day delivery, so minimal wait.
Is it worth repairing an old Velux or should I replace it?
Unless the frame is rotted or the glass has failed, repair is almost always cheaper. Velux windows are built to last - I've fixed 20-year-old windows that are good for another decade with just new seals and a handle.
How long does a Velux repair take?
Simple jobs like handle replacement or seal renewal are 30-60 minutes. Hinge replacement or leak investigation can take 2-3 hours. I'll give you an estimate once I've seen what's needed.
