Skylights in Alkmaar
A roof window brings daylight to places where a facade window cannot reach, and on a flat roof, a skylight does the same. What matters for both is the installation: the surrounding leadwork determines whether it will still be dry in fifteen years. We install new ones and replace existing ones.

Why a skylight requires craftsmanship
A skylight is a hole in your roof, and every hole is a potential leak point. The window itself is usually not the problem; the connection around it is. The flashing at the top, the side connections, and the way the surrounding tiles are laid determine where the water goes. That is roofing work, not carpentry.
With older roof windows, we often see that it is not the glass but the seals and leadwork that are worn out. In that case, replacing the connection is sufficient, and the entire window does not need to be removed. Condensation between the glass, however, is a sign that the window itself needs replacing, as this indicates that the double glazing is leaking.

What does a skylight on?
Choose daylight
Daylight from above works differently than light through a facade window. This is the result.
Twice as much light
Light from above spreads more evenly than light through a window in the facade.
Ventilation in the attic
An opening skylight removes warm air where it collects.
Attic becomes living space
For a bedroom in the attic, daylight is often a structural requirement.
Also usable on the north side
Where a facade window lets in hardly any light, a skylight does.
Less maintenance
Smaller intervention, fewer connections, and therefore fewer areas requiring attention.

How much does a cost Installing a skylight?
Clear pricing
The price depends on the size, the type of window, whether it involves new installation or replacement, and the interior finish you desire. New installation requires more work because a track needs to be interrupted. Replacing in an existing opening is considerably faster. You will receive a fixed price after the free inspection.
When is a skylight due for replacement?
Good to know
Condensation between the glass panes means the glazing is leaking, and replacement is the only option. Drafts along the edges, hardened seals, or a window that opens stiffly can often still be remedied. Leakage around the window is usually caused by the leadwork and not through the window itself, so we look there first.

Questions about a skylight in Alkmaar? You will find the answers below.
Usually not. Leakage With a skylight, water enters more often through the leadwork and the connection to the tiles than through the window itself. We first examine where the water is actually coming in.
Generally not, especially at the rear. The rules are different for a protected cityscape or a monument. We check that in advance.
Not as a skylight, but as a light dome or daylight system. This works with an upstand around the opening. We will discuss which variant suits your roof.
We usually replace an existing opening in half a day. Installing a new window takes a full day, because a track needs to be interrupted and supported.

What comes up most often: that the cause is thoroughly investigated, that everything is explained calmly, and that the roof is left clean and tidy.
RatingPleasant and efficient roofer who immediately replaced the worn-out lead flashing at the chimney.
We had two skylights replaced with larger ones and renewed the gutters on that side at the same time. The team worked for three days, and the result is exactly what we had in mind. We already notice a difference in the amount of natural light, and the gutters slope perfectly.
Our skylight no longer closed properly and moisture was coming in when it rained. They repaired it expertly and immediately replaced the seal all around.
