We fitted two replacement Fakro roof windows into an old barn conversion. This was not a very easy task as the old windows were a discontinued roof window brand with imperial measurements. Also, the small terracotta roof tiles were extremely fragile and had been cemented in place. This is highly discouraged. Cementing in roof windows to prevent leakage can actually end up becoming the lead cause of leaking windows. These windows took a lot of time and patience in removing the old tiles without breaking them and customising the window size to work correctly with the modern flashing system. However we completed the job and the end result was worth the wait. The windows looked like they had always been there with no damage to the roof.
