February 23, 20206 yr I was at the build it show yesterday in Manchester and was just lazily reading through the brochures and saw some round rooflights. I would love one of these in our entrance hall (we have two other rooflights in our house where I wouldn't want t these) but they are eye watering expensive! Anyone have round rooflights?
February 23, 20206 yr It’s not just the purchase price, every follow on trade will want loads of extra money to deal with that. Best left alone unless you have a mega budget.

February 23, 20206 yr Is that a true round roof window? Or a Solar Tube? (also known as light pipes etc) We had a solar tube in the last house to give light to an otherwise dark landing. It was easy to fit and the inside bit on the ceiling just looked like a flush light fitting. So much so that people kept asking us "where was the switch to turn the light off"?

It's a true round window. I can only find it on one of the brochures I was given on the home show https://roof-maker.co.uk/rooflights/flat-rooflights/

February 27, 20206 yr The follow on trades bit that @Russell griffiths Mentions hasn’t been an issue. Plasterers were v reasonable. We painted it ourselves (a delicate balancing act). The trials and tribulations of the experience are on my blog post......(I think) If I was to build it again I would be a lot more brutal with the architects design. Because this was not cheap. And was a right PITA. Lessons learned. Costs cut elsewhere instead.
February 27, 20206 yr Author @Weebles oh wow that looks epic! We have a bungalow so we wouldn't have the height issues. Which company did you get it from? Is it the one I mentioned. I'll read your blog shortly.

Though painting was a challenge, and cleaning the glass might never happen again ?
