Skylight Installation Services
Skylights transform dark, windowless spaces by flooding them with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a brighter, healthier living environment. We install both Velux opening and fixed skylights and tubular skylight systems (sun tunnels) that can deliver daylight into rooms without direct roof access, such as hallways, bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. Every installation is waterproofed using manufacturer-approved flashing kits and techniques to ensure a permanently watertight seal. We handle the complete process from design and placement advice through to structural modifications, installation and interior finishing.
What's Included
Benefits
Natural Light Without Windows
Skylights bring daylight into rooms that cannot accommodate traditional windows — bathrooms, hallways, stairwells and interior rooms.
Reduce Energy Bills
Natural daylight reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, lowering your electricity consumption.
Improve Wellbeing
Research consistently shows that natural light improves mood, productivity and overall wellbeing in residential and commercial spaces.
Our Process
Design Consultation
We assess the room, roof structure and orientation to recommend the ideal skylight type, size and placement for maximum light.
Structural Preparation
The roof opening is cut and framed in accordance with structural requirements. Existing rafters are trimmed and headers installed.
Skylight Installation
The skylight unit is installed and waterproofed using the manufacturer-approved flashing kit, ensuring a permanent watertight seal.
Interior Finishing
The shaft is lined and painted, ceiling trim is fitted, and any blinds or shading accessories are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will installing a skylight cause my roof to leak?
Not when installed correctly. We use manufacturer-approved flashing kits and follow Velux installation procedures precisely. All our skylight installations are backed by a 10 Year Workmanship Warranty.
What is the difference between a skylight and a tubular skylight?
A traditional skylight is a glazed window set directly into the roof. A tubular skylight (sun tunnel) uses a reflective tube to channel daylight from the roof to a ceiling diffuser, making it ideal for rooms that are not directly below the roofline.
Can a skylight be installed in any roof?
Skylights can be installed in most tile and metal roofs. The key considerations are roof pitch, rafter spacing and the structural integrity of the framing. We assess all of this during the design consultation.
