New roof window

Hi everyone. Just looking for some advice.

In my hallway upstairs, I have a small Velux roof window that faces the rear garden, exactly the same as in this picture: http://www.roofingandconstruction.co.uk/project7/Proj7%20Velux%20Install59Big.jpg

I want to have an identical Velux window installed in my en-suite. Luckily, my en-suite is located on the same side of the house so the new window would overlook the rear garden too. At present, there is no window in there.

I probably wouldn't be able to afford to have someone supply and fit the window for me so I am wanting to purchase the window myself then have it fitted perhaps a month later so I could break up the costs.

Was hoping someone could kindly point me in the direction of a reputable retailer where I could purchase the window from?

Also, would anyone have an idea of the costs in having the window fitted? Just a rough figure?

Thanks in advanced!

    I had two re-done (according to Google Earth, as the scaffolding was up) in July 2009, at a cost of about £1100 each, direct from Velux.

    As far as retailers go, I can't answer that unless I know where you are, and I probably still can't answer that. You may be best off speaking locally.
