Willg Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Stupidly didn’t do the proper research and told my builder to set out my skylight opening at 2.3 m by 1.3 m, standard size is 2.5 m by 1.5 m for the internal opening, Can I get away with this? Or get my carpenter back to alter the internals? The difference in price between the two sizes with the size I have being custom is over £700 so not really worth it. As the carpenter assumed I was having a lantern there is no fall currently so I have some furring strips to add and then need to osb and get the flat roofer back to finish off sealing the roof anyway, any advice on this would be appreciated. It appears that most suppliers offer an internal frame for the fitter to fix too I didn’t know if this would change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETC Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Ask your joiner how much he would charge for the alteration. If it’s less than £700 do it. If not go for the different size to suit your opening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted 37 minutes ago Share Posted 37 minutes ago Ask @Pocster, he knows how to sort out roof lights. He has a special tape measure, and maybe some glazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willg Posted 2 minutes ago Author Share Posted 2 minutes ago Nightmare! With it all being set would it make sense to pack out the internal to the next set size? I.e make it 2 by 1 m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly I guess . Get coatings for all options . Assume the ‘less light’ if smaller not a major issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
