What are skylights/velux windows?
Skylights and Velux windows are roof windows designed to let in natural light and, in many cases, provide ventilation. They can be fixed or operable and come in a range of styles to fit different roof types and design preferences. Velux is a popular brand known for its high-quality, energy-efficient roof windows, ideal for brightening rooms and enhancing the look of your space.

- Basic Skylights: Installation costs typically range from £500 to £1,000 for a simple, fixed skylight.
- 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:
- Single Skylights/Velux Windows: Most installations are completed within 1 day.
- Larger or Multiple Windows: These may take 2 to 3 days, especially if structural modifications are needed.
Weather and roof accessibility can also impact installation time, so consult with your installer for an accurate timeline.

I paid for new roof in 2017 with 25 years warranty. In November 2024 the roof felt apart. I made claim through my insurance company who appointed BVS surveyor to inspect the roof. Insurance claim was declined due to poor workmanship ( insufficient battens, not secureed dry verge, tiles and not enough felt). I asked Roofsmart honour their warranty but they refused saying that I paid cheap and now they charge 10k for new roof but who wants defective roof in the first place Now I need to take legal action.

Phil was contactable throughout the project to answer any questions I had on things, and even with a hold up due to a third-party supplier managed to move things around to get my build done quickly.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
