How much to fit a new Velux window

[tommadden]

Hi everyone, just wondering if someone can guide me the right way on this. I am currently doing the attic up as a spare room and have been given a nice Velux Roof Light Window, just after a rough price on how much it would cost to get someone to fit it? We live near Skipton, Lancashire so London Prices don't apply!!! Thanks
Tom

i reckon fitting a velux will take 6h's max so you will be charged a full days rate. I am sure you can find someone to do it for £150. doesnt included plastering etc or the velux.

Fitting larger velux windows will require two blokes.

Scaffold too.

You may need to buy a load of tile'n' halfs if it is a plain tile roof.

You may need to trim out a rafter and reinforce the remaining rafters.

Expect to pay upwards of £700.

If you are not prepared to pay this then try doing it yourself. You will need a van full of tools.
