Frequently Asked Questions

What is a manual skylight?

A manual skylight is one that is opened by hand, typically via a cranking mechanism on the side of the frame. Manual skylights won't work if the skylight is installed well above the floor, out of your reach. But they are a great idea if, for instance, the skylights are installed on a sloped roof that comprises one wall of a loft area. Then you can simply walk over and open and close them as you see fit.

What are the benefits of manual skylights?

For one thing, you will not use any electricity when opening and closing them. Another benefit of manual skylights is that they open up formerly dingy spaces to natural light. This enables you to switch off the electric lights and save on your monthly energy bill. Another big benefit of manual skylights is that they vastly improve the ventilation in your home. If you have them installed in a loft space, for instance, when you open them, they will pull warm air up through the entire house, making your indoor environment cooler and drier.

Can manual skylights make my home more valuable?

Yes, manual skylights can make your home more valuable. Any type of skylight is going to give your home a significant boost in kerb appeal and kerb appeal, as any estate agent will tell you, which affects the market value of a home by up to 10%. Manual skylights will also make your home more energy efficient, and that too will boost the market value of your home.

Will I need planning permission to install manual skylights?

In most cases, manual skylights will be considered permitted development, meaning you can install them without planning permission. However, there are a few exceptions to that rule. For one, if any part of the skylight will protrude above the current highest point on the roof, you may need planning permission. You will likely need planning permission if your home is in a conservation area. And you will almost certainly need planning permission if your home is a Listed building.

Can you install my manual skylights for me?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer installation services at this time. However, all of our manual skylights come with comprehensive installation instructions you can use yourself or pass on to your contractor. If you like, we can put you in touch with a reliable contractor with experience installing skylights.
