From precise flashing installations for weatherproofing to ensuring compliance with Part L building regulations, our work is grounded in practical expertise and attention to detail.
Why Skylight Windows Are a Smart Choice for UK Homes
Whether you’re in a London terraced house or a rural bungalow in Yorkshire, skylights tackle multiple pain points like limited natural light, ventilation challenges, and rising energy costs.
- Natural Light for Gloomy Rooms: Our clients often struggle with dim spaces like loft conversions or flat-roof extensions. Skylight windows bring in up to 30% more daylight than traditional windows, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
- Reduce Condensation Issues: Poor ventilation can lead to condensation buildup, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. We install solar venting skylights or motorised options that improve airflow and maintain moisture balance.
- Energy-Efficient Heating: All our units feature low-E glass and meet the UK’s strict thermal insulation standards, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
Step-by-Step Skylight Window Installation
Our meticulous skylight installation process ensures durability, weather resistance, and seamless integration with your roof structure.
Roof Assessment and Design
We start by examining your roof type—whether it’s a slate pitched roof or a GRP flat roof—to recommend the best skylight solution. Issues like poor pitch compatibility or insufficient load-bearing capacity are addressed early to avoid costly problems later.
Precision Roof Cutting
Cutting into the roof is a critical phase. For slate roofs, we use specialist tools to avoid cracking the tiles, while flat roofs require curb structures for effective water drainage.
Weatherproofing and Flashing
Leakage is a major concern for skylight installations in the UK. Our team uses EPDM membranes and aluminium step flashing kits to create a seal that holds up against wind-driven rain and snow.
Installing the Skylight
Depending on your requirements, we can fit deck-mounted units for a sleeker appearance or curb-mounted options for flat roofs. All installations are tested for airtightness and water resistance.
Internal Finishing
We plaster and seal the internal light shaft, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your interior design. Optional features like rain sensors or solar-powered blinds are added at this stage.
Common Challenges Solved by Our Services
Our expert skylight services tackle issues like leaks, condensation, and poor insulation with durable, efficient solutions tailored to UK homes.
Water Leaks After Installation
Solution: Skylights can fail when improper flashing or low-quality materials are used. Our flashing process ensures a 100% leak-proof installation. We use high-grade EPDM membranes and custom-fit flashing for roofs with awkward angles or irregular materials.
Condensation and Mould Growth
Solution: In high-humidity areas like bathrooms, poorly ventilated skylights lead to condensation. Our venting skylights and integrated moisture control systems keep airflow consistent, preventing mould issues.
Inefficient Heating or Cooling
Solution: Older skylights often lack proper insulation, causing heat loss in winter and overheating in summer. We install triple-glazed skylights with advanced thermal coatings to regulate indoor temperatures effectively.
