Hello Forum - excuse the lounge intrusion.


Has anyone here had any experience of VELFAC? It's the sister company of Velux - only they do doors and regular windows instead of rooflights.


The product looks quite suitable for what we're doing, but we're not relishing a trip to their showroom in Kettering to find out more - and don't know anyone who's tried them so have no direct recommendations.


If anyone knows anything, that would be a great help!

Frenchy, on Velfac's website there is a gallery of projects, including the modern, white rendered house on Lacon Road in ED. This belongs to an architect, RDA (020 8299 2222). I'm sure if you give him a ring he will tell you more and perhaps even let you see the windows/doors...

Hi Shankley, I'm looking at Velfac too - did you source the windows yourself, and if so did you use one of the Velfac approved joiners for the installation? I'm concerned about providing the measurements myself for the order, so would like someone to measure them accurately, especially since we have a bay window like yours.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
