Looking for a window fitter to help you with a new skylight? A window fitter can install a skylight for your kitchen, in your loft conversion or in an extension according to your needs.
A window fitter can help you with every aspect of your skylight project:
Skylight or Velux window installation

- Order your skylights and inspect them on delivery
- Install your new roof windows and show you how to operate them
So, if you need a window fitter to help install new skylights, HaMuch has thousands of friendly, registered professionals ready to help.
Why do you need a window fitter that specialises in skylights?
Installing skylights involves working at height which can be dangerous if not carried out by someone that knows what they’re doing. That’s why we recommend hiring a window fitter that specialises in skylights rather than trying to do a DIY job or using a generalist window installer.
Here are our top reasons why you need a window fitter that specialises in skylights:
Expertise: Skylights are unique window installations that require specific expertise and knowledge. A window fitter that specialises in skylights will have understanding of the intricacies involved in installing and sealing skylights. They will be familiar with the various types of skylights available, such as fixed, ventilation or sun tubes, and can advise on the best options for your specific needs.
Accurate installation: Since skylights are installed on the roof, they can be challenging to get right. A specialist skylight fitter will have the necessary experience to handle these complexities and ensure a precise and accurate installation, reducing the risk of leaks and other issues associated with improper fitting.
Safety: Working on the roof presents safety risks, and skylights require careful handling during installation to avoid accidents and injuries. A professional skylight fitter will have the appropriate safety training and equipment to carry out the job safely. Plus, there are lots of ways to install skylights from inside the home these days, which only professionals will know about.
Knowledge of good manufacturers: A specialist skylight fitter will be familiar with high-quality skylights and can recommend reputable brands that offer durability, energy efficiency and proper ventilation. This ensures that you get a skylight that will last.
Compliance with Building Regulations: Skylights are subject to Building Regulations due to the fact that the roof structure generally needs to be altered to create the opening and needs to be able to carry the weight of the new skylight. It also needs to be energy efficient. A specialist fitter will be well-versed in these requirements and can ensure that the installation meets all the necessary standards.
Warranties and insurance: Most skylight manufacturers offer warranties on their products, but often only if they’re installed by a specialist fitter. Hiring a skylight specialist means you’ll get this benefit. Additionally, reputable specialists should carry insurance, giving you peace of mind in case anything goes wrong during the installation.
What does a window fitter do when they install skylights?
When a window fitter installs your skylights, they will follow a series of steps to ensure that they’re fitted correctly. Here’s what to expect from your window fitter when they install your skylights:
Initial assessment: The window fitter will visit your home to assess the location where the skylight will be installed. They will check the roof's structure, pitch and angle to determine the best place for the skylight.
Advise you on skylight type: Based on the assessment and your preferences, the fitter will recommend the appropriate type of skylight for your needs. This may include fixed skylights, ventilated skylights that can be opened, or sun tubes for smaller spaces that don’t benefit from much natural light.
Preparation and planning: The fitter will plan the installation process, ensuring that the plan meets Building Regulations and that they have all the tools and equipment required.
Creating an opening: If the roof doesn’t already have a skylight or an appropriate opening, the fitter will carefully mark and cut the opening in the roof according to the skylight's dimensions. This may involve cutting part of the roof’s rafters or joists, so the adjacent ones will need to be strengthened.
Flashing and weatherproofing: Proper flashing and weatherproofing are crucial to prevent water leaks and ensure the skylight remains watertight. The fitter will install flashing around the skylight, ensuring it's tightly sealed against the roof surface.
Mounting the skylight: The fitter will carefully position and mount the skylight in the prepared opening. The fitter will ensure that it’s level and square, and then secure it in place using appropriate fasteners.
Insulation and sealing: Insulating the space around the skylight is essential for energy efficiency and preventing condensation. The fitter will insulate the gaps and seal any openings to maintain a consistent temperature inside your home.
Interior finishing: Inside your home, the fitter will install plasterboard or plaster around gaps around the skylight opening to create a clean and finished look ready for decorating.
Testing and adjustment: The fitter will test the skylight to ensure it opens and closes smoothly (if you have chosen an opening and closing skylight) and that it provides adequate ventilation. Any necessary adjustments will be made at this stage.
Clean-up: After the installation is complete, the fitter will clean up the work area, removing debris and ensuring the site is left tidy.
Final inspection and handover: Before finishing the job, the fitter will perform a final inspection to ensure everything works correctly, and they should invite you to check the installation over yourself. They will also provide you with information on how to operate and maintain the skylight properly, such as remote control instructions or cleaning methods.
