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.
Cost of installing skylights and velux windows

- 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.

Excellent work on cleaning 2/3 of my roof in 2022. However, he was unable to clean the last 1/3 because of the importance of another job - and my job had taken longer than estimated. We agreed that he would complete the last 1/3 no later than May 31st 2023. In spite of at least 4 attempts to communicate with him (emails and an internal Rated People message) prior to the end of May, I have had no response from him. Hence the rating.
