Skylight/velux in loft

73 Posts


We are having a new roof shortly and wondered what the pros and cons were of a skylight in the loft.
This is not a conversion, we are keeping it as a loft - insulated and boarded and used for storage. We asked our roofer and it’s only a very small amount extra to include and thought it might give some natural light up there and we can open for extra ventilation should we want to. I was expecting it to be loads more and help me in making a decision but it’s literally only an extra couple of hundred. Any thoughts would be great, whenever I look online everything comes up with loft conversions.

( * It's a "chalet bungalow" so the upstairs rooms have sloping walls where they sit inside the roof line.)
Its a £400 job min, unless he’s got one spare off a job,
