Velux install

[littlebasher]

I fancy brightening up my kitchen by getting a velux window put into the roof above the kitchen ceiling.

(It's a Bungalow, so there's eves which are directly above the kitchen and standard rood tiles)

Anyone had a velux installed recently?....How much would i realistically look to pay in order to get one installed?

Just had ours done in the last couple of months.



£850 all in fitted and the roof re-felted on the outside. In the North East. The window purchased direct was approx. £350.

Aye, that's the sort of thing i'm after

What size is the window - m04 780x980 ?

Bear in mind if the rafters are being cut to install a window then that is notifiable to building control.

That's another couple of hundred on the bill then....if i remember to tell them !

Silly me

Looks like whoever built my place must have already thought about this

I forgot that there's already 6 velux windows in the loft space - which means that there must be the right distance between the rafters to fit another window lower down on the roof so it's above the kitchen ceiling

Or something like that

What's the minimum gap that you need between 2 velux windows that are above / below one another?

e.g.

There's a fair chance he's got a new roof by now in a new house.

Same roof, and its had a velux in it for some time now
