Welcome to your ultimate guide to rooflight and skylight peices. In this post, we’ll talk about different factors that can affect the price of rooflights, including size, materials, design, and more. We’ll also provide a helpful price guide for all our rooflight and skylight products, with practical information to support you in finding your new feature.
We offer a price match guarantee on several products, meaning you can buy from a rooflight expert at the lowest price.
How much do rooflights cost?
The cost of rooflights and skylights varies depending on factors like size, style, scope, materials, features, glazing, and so much more. At Toughened Glass Systems, you’ll find rooflights from as little as £100 to around £12,000, not including VAT.
What impacts the price of rooflights?
Let’s take a look at the various factors that can impact rooflight costs.
Size
As you’d expect, larger rooflights are going to be more expensive. They’ll require more glass, more materials, and may cost more to install. It’s important to contact a professional company to make sure you get the perfect size for your building.
Quantity
Similarly, more rooflights will cost more money. Again, you’ll benefit from speaking to a specialist company who will guide you towards the most cost-effective solution. Style and quantity are dependent on other factors like design, materials, and features, so having a conversation with an expert will help you find a rooflight that looks great without breaking the bank.
Materials
While good materials will be more expensive, they’re essential for the performance and durability of your skylight, and will help you save money in the long run. All our rooflights are made with high quality materials and modern technology, making them high-performing and long-lasting. While choosing cheap materials may seem more appealing in the short-term, there’s no doubt you’ll come into costly issues further down the line if you cut corners.
Positioning
Rooflight installation costs may be higher if the location of the feature requires extra labour or equipment. Simple factors like roof height can make a difference, so careful planning is important.
Type or design
Different designs cost different amounts, so the style you select will determine the price. We’ve included some more information on rooflight prices by design below.
Rooflight prices by design
Rooflights come in a variety of designs and sizes and offer a range of functions, such as automatic opening and emergency ventilation. There are many reasons to consider a skylight installation, and it is important to decide what functions you require prior to purchasing.
Toughened Glass Systems have created this comprehensive guide on some of the most popular skylights and rooflights available today, along with pricing information, functionality, and design specifications.
We offer a wide range of bespoke skylight solutions for any building environment, and can talk to you directly to decide the best solution for your needs. Whether you need a skylight as an aesthetic choice to maximise the natural light in your room, as ventilation, or even as an emergency exit. You can find out about our complete range below.
You can also read our blog on rooflights and energy efficiency for more information on how you can save money with an expertly installed skylight or rooflight.
Flat Rooflight
Price range: £259.00 to £2,800.00 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Flat rooflights can increase the natural light levels of your room by almost 100%, and will benefit more from the sunlight than a vertically placed window. Toughened Glass Systems offer highly competitive rates.
Our flat roof skylight costs range from £259.00 excl. VAT for a 600 x 900 mm double-glazed rooflight with a clear finish, and includes an easy-installation guide and fast delivery within the UK, to £2,800.00 excl. VAT for our triple-glazed, beautifully frost-finished rooflights.
All flat rooflights are offered with the option of self-cleaning for your ease. Flat rooflights are very cost-effective and can be made to specific sizes.
Triple-Glazed Self-Cleaning Rooflight
Price range: £163.00 to £619.00 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Triple-glazed self-cleaning rooflights are designed for homeowners who want stronger thermal performance without the hassle of regular maintenance. Suitable for both flat and sloped roofs, they help retain heat more effectively while their self-cleaning glass technology reduces the build-up of dirt, watermarks and debris over time.
Our triple-glazed self-cleaning rooflights are available in a range of popular sizes to suit home extensions, kitchens, hallways and commercial spaces. Alongside improved insulation, they also offer better acoustic performance, helping to reduce unwanted outside noise.
Prices typically start from £163.00 excl. VAT for smaller standard units, rising to around £619.00 excl. VAT for larger sizes with better glazing configurations.
Framed Flat Skylights
Price range: £390.96 to £3,309.82 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Framed flat skylights are a stunning addition to your home, providing extensive light coverage to your room with double glazing and high thermal efficiency throughout the year. Skylights in this category come with high-quality, factory-sealed aluminium frames to fit comfortably with the style and decor of any room.
Toughened Glass Systems offer framed rooflights in sizes ranging from 600 x 600 mm at an unbeatable £390.96 excl. VAT, to 3000 x 1800 mm at a low price of £3,309.82 excl. VAT.
The framed flat rooflight is supplied with an internal laminated glass pane, providing additional safety in the event the inner glass pane were to break.
Electric & Manual Opening Skylights
Price range: £575.64 to £2,534.00 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Skylights that feature an opening mechanism will provide your room with ample natural lighting, and are functional as a means of ventilation or roof access. As a means of access, a manually opening skylight comes with a pole to allow for quick opening that can function without the need for electricity, for instance, in a power cut.
These can be ordered for as little as £575.64 excl. VAT. Electric opening skylights can be operated via a mains switch, remote control, or even set to close automatically through the use of rain sensors. They can range from just £696.98 excl. VAT for a mains-powered skylight with a wall switch, to £2,534.00 excl. VAT for an electric opening skylight with a rain sensor, remote, a wall switch, and a beautiful Stippolyte glass finish for privacy.
Roof Lanterns and Pyramid Rooflights
Price range: £402.05 to £4,533.94 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Roof lanterns provide your room with maximum natural lighting through their unique, angled design. The 25° pitch of the glass will project light into your room to allow for fuller coverage versus flat rooflights, with the elegant glass shape and concealed fittings making a perfect addition to any environment.
Korniche roof lanterns are available in both neutral and blue-tinted glass in a range of sizes. You can get yours for as little as £694.56 excl. VAT for a small model, up to £4,247.01 excl. VAT for the visually striking 2000 x 4000 mm roof lantern with a tinted blue glass finish.
Dome Rooflights
Price range: £115.00 to £4,194.75 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Dome rooflights are a great lighting solution for a range of professional and domestic buildings. Their compact, aerodynamic shape and design will allow natural light to enter the desired room for long periods of time. Whereas many rooflights are chosen as an attention-grabbing centrepiece, dome rooflights offer subtle natural lighting and ventilation solutions without drawing attention away from the room itself.
The squared shape of dome rooflights means they can fit into a wide range of spaces, making multiple installations feasible. Dome rooflights are more robust than glass rooflights (whereas glass rooflights are more aesthetically pleasing).
Dome rooflights can be purchased for as little as £115.00 excl. VAT for a single-glazed, 600 x 600 mm model, and are available in sizes up to 2400 x 1800 mm.
Walk On Rooflights
Price range: £869.00 to £3,575.00 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Walk-on rooflights are specially toughened and laminated to support human weight (depending on the size of glass ordered). They provide an elegant lighting solution to your basement conversion or roof terrace, without taking up valuable walking space like a traditional rooflight.
They are also framed in a charming black border that complements the theme of any room, terrace or conversion.
Walk-on rooflights are insulated with argon gas to maximise thermal efficiency in your room. You can purchase walk-on rooflights in a range of sizes for as little as £869.00 VAT for a 600 x 900 mm model (with a top pane of 800 x 1100 mm). Walk-on glass rooflights can also be made to custom sizes.

Our dome rooflights feature high-quality, long-life polycarbonate, which provides significantly more strength than regular glass and ample resistance to breakages and weather conditions. Polycarbonate dome rooflights can cost as little as £115.00 excl. VAT for a single-skin 600 x 600 mm model, and offer a range of glazing options and finishes.
Manual Opening Dome Rooflights
Price range: £345.00 to £1,875.65 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Manual opening options for your dome rooflight provide your room with a stunning natural lighting solution, whilst also offering ventilation via the pole-operated opening mechanism. You can save a lot of money by installing a multifunctional rooflight in your room that will aid in maximising lighting efficiency, safety levels, and the general well-being of occupants.
Manual opening dome rooflights are operated via a pole which winds the rooflight open, and can be easily closed by hand. The cost of a manual opening rooflight is dependent on the size, glazing and ventilation.
They range from £345.00 excl. VAT for the 600 x 600 mm single-glazed model, up to £1,875.65 excl. VAT for a 1800 x 1200 mm, quad-glazed model featuring trickle vents and a clear glaze finish.

Modular rooflights are designed so that individual units may be linked together, allowing for unlimited lengths to best suit your premises. Modular rooflights are the ideal solution for large skylight requirements.

VAT for a fixed unit.

Glass Roof Access Window
Price range: £2,741.04 to £3,755.16 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Glass roof access windows are designed for flat roofs and serve the dual purpose of providing rooftop access and facilitating ventilation, while also introducing natural light into the space.
This type of access rooflight features a thermally broken powder-coated aluminium frame integrated with a flush-fitting double-glazed glass panel. They open on robust hinged mechanisms (with gas springs or electric actuators) to allow safe egress to roof terraces or for roof maintenance.
Units are typically supplied with a 300 mm high insulated upstand kerb for easy installation, and optional extras such as rain sensors and automatic controls are available for added convenience.
Pitched Roof Windows
Price range: £176.88 to £689.17 excl. VAT (all prices valid as of November 2025)
Pitched roof windows, also known as loft skylights, are installed on sloping roofs to transform dull loft or attic spaces with natural light. They change up your space with panoramic views of the sky and with better ventilation, making previously dark areas feel more open.
We stock an impressive collection of quality pitched roof skylight windows, including centre-pivot and top-hung designs from leading brands like RoofLITE+ and Fakro.
Prices start from around £176.88 excl. VAT for a basic RoofLITE+ centre-pivot window, up to about £689.17 excl. VAT for larger premium models with advanced features (such as top-hung openings and triple glazing).
Adding a pitched roof window can certainly brighten a room and increase its usability, all while keeping the excellent thermal performance.
How much is it to install a rooflight?
Rooflight installation costs vary, but average prices can start from around £250 for a small rooflight if your fitter is already undertaking the build of the flat roof extension project. Prices would be more if you’re contracting a fitter to install the rooflight to an existing flat roof extension as additional work would be required. This is in addition to the price of your skylight. As always, we recommend discussing everything thoroughly with a rooflight expert to make sure you find your perfect feature at the best price.

FAQs
Is installing a skylight worth it?
Installing a skylight in your home can offer increased thermal efficiency and luminosity for your room through natural lighting. This will in turn allow you to save money on your energy bills by reducing heat loss and the need for light bulbs.Is it cheaper to put in a window or a skylight?
This is dependent on the type of window or skylight you have installed. The initial costs of installation can vary depending on quality, but the overall thermal and lighting efficiency provided by a skylight will save you more money in the long run.
Do skylights increase home value?
Skylights are seen as a positive feature in most homes, and can even be advertised as a main feature to increase interest in the sale of your home or property. The aesthetic value and cost-saving potential of a skylight can offer a unique selling point for your property.
Do you need planning permission for rooflights?
You are not required to obtain planning permission for a rooflight or skylight on most instances, however certain areas may have restrictions. If in doubt, you will need to contact your local authority to obtain permission if required.
Do skylights require maintenance?
A professionally produced and installed skylight should require little to no maintenance, and can even be ordered with self-cleaning options to reduce the need for cleaning maintenance.
Are custom rooflights more expensive?
Custom rooflights are likely to cost more than regular rooflights. However, getting a skylight that’s tailored to your building can save you money in the long run, as well as looking visually stunning.
How much do flat roof rooflights cost and are they worth it?
Flat roof rooflights can be sourced from various places, from off-the-shelf versions at large DIY stores, to custom-built windows from specialist glass suppliers. Is the latter an expense worth undertaking; and how much should you spend? There is no right or wrong answer – it depends on your requirements and budget, as well as the quality of the company you are considering. But here are some tips on getting the best deal. Before you begin shopping around for suitable suppliers of flat roof lights, it is worth researching your options and making a list of essentials – things you cannot compromise on.
Rooflights for flat roofs prices generally rise in proportion to the dimensions and complexity of the design required. A small, non-opening unit naturally cost considerably less than a larger one that can be opened electronically. Therefore, list desirable features, which may include triple glazed units, self-cleaning glass and so on. Be prepared to pay a little more for the most energy efficient windows if you can, as these save you money over the longer term. One essential factor to bear in mind, though, is that the benefit of sourcing flat roof skylight or rooflights for your home from a specialist, experienced supplier with a good track record can’t be underestimated. After all, it is yours and your family’s safety that is at risk if something goes wrong.
Ask any supplier you approach about safety standards and whether guarantees are provided that cover the window and/ or the installation work in case there are any problems in the future.
