Nothing transforms a dark, closed-in room quite like natural light pouring in from above. A well-placed skylight or roof window can turn a gloomy hallway, bathroom or living area into a bright, welcoming space — cutting your reliance on artificial lighting and making the whole home feel larger and more open. The catch is that a skylight is a hole in your roof, so it has to be installed by roofers who understand watertighting. That is exactly what we are — so you get all of the light and none of the leaks. From a single solar tube in a dark hallway to a row of openable roof windows over a renovated kitchen, we treat every install as a precision roofing job first and a daylight upgrade second.
The right daylight solution for the room
There is more than one way to bring light through a roof, and choosing well makes all the difference. Traditional fixed skylights are perfect for flooding a room with daylight where ventilation is not the priority. Openable roof windows — such as the Velux range we regularly install — add fresh air and heat escape on top of the light, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and stuffy upstairs rooms. And for spaces where running a large shaft is impractical, tubular skylights (solar tubes) channel surprising amounts of daylight down a compact reflective tube into hallways, robes and laundries.
We help you choose the right type, size and position for each room, taking into account the roof pitch, the direction of the sun, and the layout below. Modern units come with options like integrated blinds, rain sensors that close openable windows automatically, and high-performance glazing that controls heat gain — so you get all the light without turning the room into a greenhouse in summer.
Installed leak-free, by roofers
The single most important thing about a skylight is that it must never leak, and this is where using a dedicated roofing team pays off. Plenty of skylights are fitted by general handymen and go on to cause years of frustrating, hard-to-trace leaks because the flashing was rushed. We approach every skylight as a roofing job first: we cut the opening cleanly, frame it correctly, and install the manufacturer’s flashing kit properly integrated into the surrounding tiles or sheets, so water is guided around and away from the unit exactly as it should be.
Because we work across tile, metal and flat roofs every day, we know precisely how to detail the flashing for your particular roof type — and we finish the interior shaft neatly so the result looks as good inside as it does out. The payoff is a bright, light-filled room, lower daytime lighting costs, better ventilation, and a feature that genuinely lifts the comfort and value of your home. Best of all, it is all watertight and backed by our workmanship warranty, so you can enjoy the sunshine without ever worrying about the rain. Add a skylight to a re-roof or restoration and we will fold it seamlessly into the one tidy, well-managed job.

Frequently asked
Will a skylight leak over time?
Not when it is flashed correctly. We install every skylight as a roofing job with the proper flashing kit, and back it with our warranty.
Which rooms suit skylights best?
Dark hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells and living areas all benefit hugely — we will advise on the best type for each.
Can you add one during a re-roof?
Yes, and it is the ideal time. Combining a skylight with a re-roof or restoration keeps it tidy and cost-effective.
