Pitched Roof Skylight Installation in Dorset
Skylights supplied and fitted on existing roofs, new builds, and extensions, with the correct flashing kit for your slate or tile system.
Skylights, Fitted Properly
We supply and install skylights on pitched roofs, whether that's an existing property, a new build, or an extension. The right flashing kit is essential to integrating a skylight correctly into a slate or tile roof system — get this wrong and it's one of the most common sources of leaks around a skylight, so we match the flashing kit to the roof covering rather than treating it as a generic fit.
Beyond the obvious benefit of extra natural light, a well-installed skylight also improves a room's insulation and energy efficiency — modern skylight glazing is built to hold heat in rather than let it escape, so it's not simply a hole in the roof with glass over it. Where a hatch-style skylight is chosen, it can also double as an alternative means of escape, which is worth considering for loft conversions.
We'll talk through which type and position suits your roof before any work starts, then carry out the installation with as little disruption to the rest of the roof as possible.

The work was carried out to the highest standard and they really put our mind at rest as it was a big decision for us to complete this work.”

Working from Poole puts Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch on our doorstep, and we regularly fit skylights across the wider Dorset area, into the New Forest and Ringwood, and through to Southampton and Hampshire — particularly on loft conversions and extension projects.
Either. We fit skylights into existing slate and tile roofs as a standalone job, and we also install them as part of a re-roof, new build, or extension.
In almost all cases, yes — the important part is the flashing kit, which has to match the roof covering. That is what integrates the unit into the roof properly and is the most common source of leaks when it is not specified correctly.
A hatch-style skylight can serve as an alternative means of escape, which is often relevant on loft conversions. Whether it satisfies building regulations for your specific project depends on the opening size and position, so it is worth confirming with your building control officer.
A single skylight is usually a one-day job on a straightforward roof. Multiple units, structural alterations, or difficult access will extend that, and we will confirm the timescale before starting.
Modern skylight glazing is designed to retain heat, so a correctly specified and fitted unit should improve the comfort of the room rather than lose heat through it. We will talk through glazing options when recommending a model.
