VELUX maintenance and roof window servicing.
Roof window maintenance and servicing to help keep your VELUX windows working smoothly, safely and reliably throughout the year.
Small maintenance checks can help prevent bigger problems.
VELUX roof windows are exposed to weather, temperature changes and everyday use. Over time, seals, hinges, ventilation flaps, glazing and opening mechanisms can all benefit from inspection, servicing and general maintenance.
AR Windows helps homeowners keep their roof windows working properly, with practical advice on maintenance, servicing, repairs and when replacement may be the better long-term option.

Operation checks
Reviewing whether the roof window opens, closes, locks and ventilates smoothly.
Hinges and mechanisms
Checking hinges, catches, handles and moving parts for wear, stiffness or damage.
Seals and draughts
Looking for worn seals, draughts, gaps or areas where comfort and performance may be affected.

Checking ventilation areas and operation so the window can provide airflow as intended.
