I’d say I was average level handy, a friend and I put in two Keylite roof windows a few weeks ago, 1st one took a day, second took half a day. He had done it a few times before and I wouldn’t have been happy trying to do it alone even if I knew how, but given I was quoted £3.5k per window for materials and labour then I was happy to give it a bash with some (experienced) help.

Summary = pretty easy.

3.5k per window!!! How big were these things? Two years ago I paid £800 for two Velux windows to be installed by a roofer. Did them both in a day with an Ed Sheeran look-a-like helper.

Didn’t include the windows but they were about £400 on top and no scaffolding needed.

Not big, it felt like a ‘can’t be arsed’ quote, and I was sufficiently motivated to do it myself after that. I was also dissuaded from insulating properly as I’ll use it infrequently in winter and when I do I can bang a little heater in there as needed.
