How much does it cost to put in a Skylight?

Some homeowners are reluctant to install a skylight on their home because they're under the impression the cost is prohibitive. Not only is that untrue, but the benefits you'll enjoy by installing a skylight or skylights will enhance the value of your home and in most cases more than offset the cost of installation. In this post, the team at Skylights Rooflight answer the question: How much does it cost to put in a skylight?

The Cost of Installing a Skylight

There are a variety of things to consider when pricing a skylight installation including labour and associated components such as the collar and flashing, as well as insulation and any roof alterations. That said the average cost of skylight installation ranges from approximately £800 to £1,200.

Those figures are only intended to provide a ballpark idea of the cost. There are other things that could cause the cost to be higher such as whether the installation location is a hard-to-access area and whether you live in central London or somewhere like Addington.

Labour Costs

As a general rule if the installation is handled by an experienced tradesman with an assistant the labour costs will typically be £40-£45 per hour for the duration of the installation, broken down as follows:

  • £25-£30 per hour for the tradesman
  • £15 per hour for the assistant

Additional Costs

There are a number of other costs that will affect the final price of the installation, including:

  • The type of skylight: A fixed (unopening) skylight will cost less than a skylight that opens. A skylight that opens manually will cost less than a skylight with a motor that can be opened remotely.
  • The size of the skylight: Obviously a large skylight will cost more to purchase and install than a small or medium-sized skylight.
  • The shape of the skylight: If the skylight is anything other than a standard rectangular shape it will likely cost more to install.
  • The cost of permits: Depending on where you live and what is involved in the installation you may need to obtain a permit from the local authority before installing your skylight.
