So Velux are stating long lead times for windows.

I'm looking elsewhere so Fakro and Dakea. I'm after three windows and two of them being 66x140 which unfortunately Fakro and Dakea don't do so will have to do 66x118.

I also thought those two would be cheaper but by the time I add in the flashings and insulation they come up about the same which is surprising.

Anyway, would anyone have an opinion on which make to go for please?

22 days and longer on some velux products at the moment.

Be interesting if keylight can come up with the goods when Velux can't.

I was emailed by velux about 10 days ago saying lead times being extended to 22 days, so I guess it depends if you have bought anything recently?
I've just looked on roofing superstore website for a velux GGL MK04 and they are quoting 10-15 days, which isn't a problem for me as I am busy but its something to be aware of if you need something quick.
