    Travis Perkins do their 'own' - but for the life of me I can't see the difference, so I suspect Velux in disguise. Much cheaper than Velux.

    HTH

    Much cheaper based on list prices or on actual prices? I know Velux are tight with discounts and I believe they, dare I say it, rig the market. Like everyone I can get discount on their products though not as much as I believe I should!

    If OP reads the forum with regard to glass shattering in certain Velux - everyone is full of praise for Velux customer support and aftersales. So they do have a good reputation.

    Velux have stood the test of time and many of their roof lights that were fitted in the 80,s are still going strong.

    Other brands that I have fitted that are ok include Fakro ..... Velux still a bit better IMO.
