Whether you’re after a single skylight or a full series to transform your space, our experienced team can recommend the best options to maximise natural light and elevate the look and feel of your home.
Our qualified roof plumbers expertly install your skylight through the roof, then our skilled carpenters construct and line the internal shaft ready for painting if it is plasterboard. Timber lined shafts are left ready for painting, staining or sealing.
For installations on metal roofs, we provide complete peace of mind with a six-year workmanship warranty, supported by an industry-backed Building & Plumbing Commission Compliance Certificate.
There are five good reasons to update your old acrylic dome skylight to a modern Velux skylight
The Velux FCM range easily replaces existing acrylic or polycarbonate domes yet provides double glazed comfort while bringing natural light into the room. Roofrite custom makes and installs a “collar” then sits the new skylight on top. It’s that simple!
If the room already has plenty of ventilation, then a fixed skylight is a budget friendly alternative.
If the skylight is being installed in a bedroom, we recommend installing a Velux honeycomb blackout blind in conjunction with the skylight installation.
For other areas of the home, pleated translucent blinds are an excellent choice. Their sheer fabric reduces glare while still providing a softer, filtered light- perfect for kitchens, living rooms or TV/Screen areas. If you’re unsure, Velux blinds can be retrofitted so you don’t have to decide right away.
A small skylight usually takes a half day to install into the roof and then we build the shaft between the skylight and the ceiling. A typical 1 metre shaft can take a day to a day and a half.
