In order to extend the living space in your property you may consider an extension however you could be faced with a lack of natural light in the new area for example if you are unable to install a window into a new wall or if you are converting part of your garage to extend your kitchen. The costs of any extension can increase if extra double-glazed windows need to be installed but there is a solution to this problem namely installing a roof light.

The main consideration when installing a roof light in a roof is that it is adequately sealed to avoid any leaks due to rainwater and damage to the interior of the property. When installing the unit, the enclosed fitting instructions should be followed to ensure that the roof light is correctly fitted and sealed. Scaffolding may be required so If you do not feel competent to install the roof light yourself a reputable builder should be able to install the roof light for a reasonable cost.

A concern for some people is how to clean the roof light but recent developments in self-cleaning glass means that this is not the problem it used to be and should not prevent you from installing this feature in your new extension to bring in that natural light.
