Excellent service! I ordered two incorrect blinds, I emailed and then telephoned to explain my mishap. The issue was resolved very quickly and two replacements are on their way.

We changed WFI supplier which upgraded us to 5g and it caused major problems with our Velux Gateway. Spoke to Mikey and he explained I needed to contact our suppler and remove the 5g. I then contacted Mikey and he talked me through all the steps and made sure everything was working before finishing the call. It was very refreshing be able to speak to someone and not a robot. A very big Thank you to Mikey.10 out of 10

The process of discussing my project with Velux, talking through different options, and obtaining information on products, pricing, and installation, has honestly been one of the best customer experiences I've ever had. Lynne Leblanc was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, and I felt supported and reassured the entire time.
I've only just placed my order, so fingers crossed the products live up to the standard of the advisory team!

Called after sales and received a friendly and thorough explanation of how to resolve an issue I had. Their advisor took the trouble to email specifications to satisfy building control. First class service by a UK after sales team!

I contacted Velux for advice on which window would best suit our needs. I was offered a video meeting with an advisor and it was brilliant. I gave them all the information they needed and was advised the best window for my situation. It was all very simple and the advice was spot on. We now have three Velux windows, one in each of three rooms and we love them.

I have three VELUX skylights installed at the same time around six years ago.
One began leaking in November 2025. It’s a clear case of water ingress — it leaks only when it rains, and stops when the rain stops.
Since reporting the issue, I’ve been stuck in an endless loop of emails where VELUX repeatedly asks for the same information and insists on various “installation checks”. After six years of problem‑free use, the idea that this is an installation fault feels unreasonable, especially as these checks often require climbing onto the roof, something most homeowners can’t safely do.
Despite providing every detail requested (some of them more than once), I’ve now been asked during one of the wettest periods of the year to check for condensation. This contradicts everything I’ve already explained and even contradicts the questions VELUX themselves ask when opening a support case.
These repeated delays and requests are not only frustrating, they are increasing the damage to my property while I wait for meaningful action.
I used to be a strong supporter of VELUX products, but this experience has completely changed my view. By contrast, when I bought another skylight from PermaRoof and had an issue, their support was fast, clear, and genuinely helpful.
Based on my current experience, I would recommend PermaRoof over VELUX.

I have had an excellent experience with the customer service and support from Velux. Shaun in particular from the technical team was extremely helpful in diagnosing an issue with my blind that I had bought. On his occasion unfortunately the blind was faulty and after trying the fixes he suggested, a replacement blind was ordered quickly (to add this the first time I have had a fault with a Velux product so rest assured that this doesn't happen often from my experience).
I level of detail in the responses I have received from Velux support have been excellent and extremely prompt in trying to rectify the issue.

New blind supplied was catching as you opened and closed it .Customer service team suggested some initial options to resolve the issues .Sweep the side channels for any potential debris and silicone spray the channels to ease movement .Unfortunately this didn't work on new blind ,however has improved the operating of 5 existing blinds we also have .
Customer service team have arranged for a replacement blind to be sent out at no cost .

What a difference when dealing with my Velux problem. The Customer Technical service team are extra helpful and certainly want to provide a comprehensive service to its customers.
Micky did everything to address the window blind issue we gave been having. So much that ee linked up on a video call allowing us to work together to fully track the problem we have with our GGL PK06 window, blind alignment. Checked everything and it looks as if the blind motor has failed.
The additional help and advice is Totally amazing and appreciated. So again
A BIG THANKYOU TO YOU ALL A VELUX SCOTLAND.
Regards Hughie.

I purchased a blackout blind in September 2024 and unfortunately in January 2026 it stopped working. I contacted customer support and was expertly helped via a video call from a very professional advisor. Through his thorough checks he ascertained the blind was no longer working and immediately arranged for a replacement under warranty. Sometimes electrical devices fail but to have excellent customer service to rectify the issue gives you faith in the product and company.

After twenty years a pane of glass failed. I reported this to Velux and they assisted me in identifying a further nine Velux windows that were manufactured with the identical fault code. With absolutely no quibbling they sent technicians who cleanly and efficiently replaced all the supect glazing. A terrific example of a Brand standing behind their product 20 years after installation! Not expected by me and wonderful to experience! Velux are brand leaders for good reason.

So a little pain in setting up the App and also rectifying a runner fault on the blind caused by the builders but the technical team were utterly amazing! Thankyou

A great Aftercare team, responsive and understanding. Credit to the company. They resolved an issue with my blinds professionally and exceeded expectations

I have received a replacement blind for an older blind. Nothing wrong with that, had to wait a week though, but without any written instructions on the information leaflet, nobody seems to write English guidelines anymore, must think we are illiterate. Anyway not being able to decipher the nice little pictures as to whether the existing fitting brackets will accept the new blind as there was none in the parcel, I rang Velux to be told no there is no brackets sent and the old ones will not do! So i have to wait another week nearly to receive the brackets, one might ask why was this not mentioned when I ordered the new blind?? Or even include them.?I think some one in the sales department or some other common sense person might think that that might be a good idea! to change the system, so beware if you are ordering a new blind.
