Thanks for the answers!
Hey @JohnWareing, are you in the business of installing skylights? I’m contemplating purchasing one for my home, and I’m a bit uncertain about what to do if the company I select doesn’t offer installation support.
Hey everyone, if you’re looking to get a skylight installed, here’s a bit of cost breakdown for you. Typically, you’d need two folks: a skilled tradesperson and a labouring assistant. The skilled tradesperson might charge about £25 per hour, and the assistant around £15 per hour, bringing you to a total of about £40 per hour for both. If you’re looking at daily rates, it’s roughly £200 for the main installer and £125 for the assistant. Hope that helps you budget your skylight project.
Typically, installing a skylight can cost anywhere from £800 to £2,400. On average, homeowners might expect to spend around £1,500. Skylights are a fantastic addition to any home, enhancing the interior design, boosting natural light and air quality, and even improving airflow. They also offer beautiful, unobstructed views of the sky and surrounding landscape, making them a worthy investment for enhancing your living space.
