Installation of Skylights

Overview

Skylights are an effective way to introduce natural light and ventilation into a home, improving internal comfort while reducing reliance on artificial lighting. When installed correctly, skylights enhance both the functionality and appearance of a space without compromising the integrity of the roof.

Our team installs skylights across tiled, metal, and slate roofing systems, ensuring each installation is fully weather-tight and compliant with current standards. From new skylight installations to replacements and upgrades, all works are carried out with a strong focus on long-term performance and proper integration with the existing roof structure.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Installation of Skylights

Can skylights be installed on any type of roof?2026-01-19T05:14:59+00:00

Yes. Skylights can be installed on tiled, metal, and slate roofs. The installation method and flashing details are tailored to suit the specific roofing material to ensure a watertight finish.

Do skylights increase the risk of roof leaks?2026-01-19T05:15:23+00:00

When installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing, skylights should not leak. Most skylight leaks are caused by poor installation or degraded flashings rather than the skylight itself.

Do skylights require much maintenance?2026-01-19T05:15:42+00:00

Skylights generally require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspections are recommended to ensure flashings remain secure and seals are in good condition.

Will a skylight make a room too hot or too bright?2026-01-19T05:16:03+00:00

Modern skylights are designed to control heat and glare. Options such as tinted glazing, diffusers, and operable units help regulate light levels and indoor temperature.

Can an old or leaking skylight be replaced without replacing the roof?2026-01-19T05:16:23+00:00

In many cases, yes. Existing skylights can often be removed and replaced while keeping the surrounding roof intact, provided the roofing materials are in suitable condition.
