How long does skylight installation take?
Most standard skylight installations are completed within a single day. More complex installations involving roof alterations or multiple units may take up to 2-3 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin.
Can you install skylights in any type of roof?
Yes, we work with both tiled and metal roofs and are fully qualified to install skylights in pitched or flat roofs. Some installations may require additional framing or supports, which we’ll discuss during the site visit.
Will it leak?
Not if we install it. As licensed plumbers and roofers, we take extra care to ensure your skylight is fully waterproofed. We use quality flashing and sealants, and we’ll never compromise your roof’s integrity. Every installation comes with a workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Do you supply the skylights or do I need to buy one first?
We’re happy to supply your skylight or install one that you’ve purchased. We work with reputable brands like Velux, Solatube and Illume, and can advise on which models best suit your space and needs.
Is STS Plumbing licensed for this work?
Yes. STS Plumbing holds full plumbing, waterproofing and roofing licences. Our team is fully insured and we only use licensed subcontractors for any electrical or structural work required. You can check our licence details with NSW Fair Trading or ask us to supply them.
