What are skylights/velux windows?

- Velux Windows: Standard installations cost between £700 and £1,500, with more for electric or solar-powered models.
- Custom Roof Windows: Complex installations or larger windows may cost upwards of £2,000, especially for multi-window designs.
How long does installation take?
The installation time depends on the type of window and roof:

Weather and roof accessibility can also impact installation time, so consult with your installer for an accurate timeline.

James, was polite and professional. He checked our main roof both back and front. Whilst the main issue was with the roof at the front of the house. He explained what and where the issues were. The quote he gave was reasonable for a complete roof replacement. James and his crew worked flatout to strip down and replace tiles, felt, battons and insulation of a two story Terrenced house over a two day period including cleanup. Great job i would consider using them again.

Mark and his apprentice turned up on time, erected their scaffolding and repaired the lead on the back of the chimney. It took less time than he thought and adjusted the price accordingly. Having his own scaffolding makes a huge difference to both the price and timescale. Definitely recommended.
