What does a velux window install do?
Velux (and similar) rooflight installation puts skylights into a sloped or flat roof to bring natural light into upper-floor rooms — typically loft conversions, top-floor extensions, or kitchens with vaulted ceilings. The work involves cutting the roof opening, fitting structural support around the new opening, fitting the rooflight, sealing for weather and air-tightness, and finishing the internal reveal with plaster.
Most Irish Velux installs are part of a larger project (loft conversion, extension, kitchen vaulted ceiling) but standalone Velux installs to existing roofs are common too — usually adding light to dark landings, dim back kitchens, or attic rooms that have been rough-finished previously. Velux remains the dominant brand but Fakro, Roto, and Keylite are functionally equivalent. Solar-powered electric opening, blinds, and rain sensors are common upgrades for higher rooflights.

How much does a velux window install cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Velux pricing depends on size, glazing, and accessibility. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges fitted including reveal plastering.
A standard mid-pane Velux (78x118cm) fitted in an existing slate or tile roof typically runs €1,400–€2,200 including window, install, flashing, and reveal plaster. Larger sizes (94x140cm and up) are €1,800–€2,800. Electric opening adds €350–€650 over manual. Solar-powered version is similar premium. Replacing an existing 15-year-old Velux in same opening is €700–€1,300. Twin or triple Velux configurations are typically €1,200–€1,800 per unit when installed together.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, urgency, and the trader you choose. On Jobiit you'll receive itemised quotes (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Velux Window Install FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a Velux?
Generally no for Velux on the rear roof slope of a typical Irish house — they fall under exempt development. Front-facing Velux (visible from the road) sometimes need permission depending on local conditions, especially in conservation areas. Listed buildings always need consent. If in doubt, ring the planning office or apply for a Section 5 declaration. Rooflights designated as 'conservation-style' (Velux Conservation, Roto Patriot) blend into period roofs and are usually accepted in conservation areas.
How long does install take?
A single standard Velux fitted into an existing slate or tile roof is a 1-day job for a 2-person team — open the roof, fit support timbers, install the unit, weather seal. Internal reveal plastering takes another half-day to a day depending on whether it dries enough for paint same trip. Twin or triple installs in same project are 2–3 days. Multi-Velux projects across a whole upper floor are 3–5 days.
Will it leak?
Properly fitted by a competent installer — no, Velux is one of the most reliable rooflight systems. Leaks come from: incorrect flashing kit (Velux supplies different flashings for slate vs profiled tile vs flat tile — wrong kit causes leaks), poor install of the underlay/breather membrane around the opening, or damage during install. Always use a manufacturer-trained installer or a roofer experienced with that brand. Velux warranty is 10 years on the unit when fitted to spec.
Should I get electric opening?
For high or hard-to-reach rooflights, yes — manual opening with a long pole gets old fast. Electric opening (Velux INTEGRA) connects to a wall switch or smartphone app and supports rain sensors that auto-close in wet weather. Adds €350–€650 to a standard install. Solar-powered electric (no wiring needed, ideal for retrofit) is similar premium. For low rooflights you can reach standing, manual is usually fine.
How long do Velux windows last?
20–30+ years for the unit itself. Wear parts: gas struts (10–15 years), seals (15–20 years), motors on electric units (12–15 years), blinds (5–10 years depending on use). Major replacement is rare — usually only when the timber frame fails or owner wants to upgrade glazing. Most Velux units installed in 1995–2000 are still working today with occasional minor part replacement.
