Skylight Installation Leeds — Professional Rooflights & Roof Windows
Types of Skylight We Install in Leeds
Not all skylights are the same. ProMax Roofing installs the full range of skylight types across Leeds and West Yorkshire, and we help you choose the right product for your roof, room, and budget.
Flat-roof rooflights are ideal for extensions, kitchens, and hallways — they sit flush or with minimal upstand and deliver excellent daylight for a room below a flat roof. Pitched-roof skylights sit within the roof plane and are most commonly used in loft conversions and bedrooms. Walk-on rooflights are structural glass units suitable for terraces and accessible flat roofs. Sun tunnels pipe daylight into rooms where a full skylight isn’t practical — ideal for bathrooms and landing spaces.
We work with quality brands including Velux, Fakro, and dome rooflight systems. All skylight installations in Leeds include proper upstand construction or kerb formation, correct weatherproofing, and internal lining or plastering where required. With 15 years of roofing and building experience, Paul and Lee ensure your skylight performs and looks right from day one.
Our Skylight Installation Process
Successful skylight installation depends on getting the structural opening, weatherproofing, and internal finish right. Our process across Leeds and West Yorkshire follows a proven sequence.
First, we survey the roof and room below, assessing rafter or joist positions, insulation depth, and any structural implications of the proposed opening size. We obtain planning confirmation where needed — most skylights fall within permitted development but Conservation Area properties in Leeds require additional checks.
On installation day, we cut the opening with precision, install any necessary structural trimmers or lintels, and fit the skylight unit to manufacturer specifications. All flashings and weatherproofing details are completed with lead or proprietary systems to a watertight standard. Internal reveals are insulated and plastered to match existing finishes.
We also install Velux roof windows and Velux Cabrio balcony systems — ask us about the full range of roof light options. Serving Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, and Harrogate.
