The costs of replacing a roof window – how to make a budget for your replacement project

How much does a roof window replacement cost?

The average cost of replacing a roof window varies depending on the kind of roof window that needs replacing. For instance, replacing your out-of-date roof windows with a new like-for-like model is cheaper than replacing it with a larger window. Here's what you need to consider when making a budget for your roof window replacement:

What to include in your roof window replacement budget

The cost of installing a roof window will depend on several different factors, including:

• The type of window and the types of internal finish and glazing you choose
• The size of the window and how many windows you want to install
• Ease of access to the roof and whether scaffolding is required for the installation
• How you want the roof window to be controlled (manually, electrically, or with solar power)
• The interior finish (repainting, lining, and replastering)

Start by figuring out what you want from your roof window replacement. This is a great time to consider if your roof windows allow enough daylight to enter your house or if you could do with an upgrade.

Why roof windows are a great choice

It's recommended that the glazed area of all windows is no less than 20% of the room's floor area to ensure rooms have adequate daylight levels. Choosing a roof window will allow maximum daylight to enter your home. For instance, a roof window provides up to twice as much light as a façade window of the same size, while flat roof windows can bring up to three times more light.
