Premium Rooflights, Tailored for You
Not every home is suited to Velux — and that’s where we come in.
At Kendle Building, we supply and install roof windows from a range of leading roof window manufacturers. All options meet the latest building standards and offer modern features like solar-powered options, triple glazing, blackout blinds, and rain sensors — just like Velux.
We work across Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, and nearby areas, advising homeowners and contractors on compliant, energy-efficient roof window solutions.
Why Choose VELUX Alternatives?
In some locations — particularly conservation areas or on listed buildings — your choice of roof window might be restricted. You may need to meet specific planning rules to preserve a building’s character.
Some roof windows are specially designed to maintain a traditional timber roof look or suit heritage-style cottages with pitched roofs and timber supports.
You might also want...
-
A different style, such as a scandinavian aesthetic
-
Better thermal insulation or noise reduction
-
A window suited to damp rooms or moisture-resistant applications
-
More sustainable, eco-friendly materials or recyclable windows
-
A lower-cost solution that still meets permitted development requirements
We’ll help you navigate all of this — and recommend options that are approved, safe, and beautifully installed. As an approved installer, we follow best practices for fitting, sealing, and flashing every unit, no matter the brand. Whatever the reason, we’ll help you find the right fit.
