Selected work

Our work speaks for itself.

We've installed skylights in Auckland homes across every roof type, every suburb, and every kind of renovation — from a single bathroom unit to multi-skylight kitchen extensions. Here's a sample of what we've been up to.

Mount Eden

Skylight Replacement

This Mount Eden home had an outdated, makeshift skylight that was leaking into the living room due to inadequate flashing.

We replaced it with a new VELUX FCM 3072 skylight, installed on a 110mm raised upstand with custom cricket flashing to improve water drainage and prevent water from backing up or ponding behind the skylight.

The new flashing system extends up towards the roof ridge, providing a robust, watertight installation designed for Auckland's wet weather.

VELUX Electric Skylight Installation

A VELUX MO6VSE electric skylight was installed as part of this renovation and new metal tile roof.

Positioning was critical to align with the custom flashings, roof hips and valleys. We worked closely with the roofer to ensure a precise, watertight installation.

Positioned directly above the front entrance, the skylight delivers maximum natural light throughout the day.

Sun Tunnel Installation

A VELUX TWF OK14 Flexi Sun Tunnel was installed in Mount Eden to bring natural light into two darker areas of the home.

With limited ceiling space, the flexible Sun Tunnel was the ideal solution, delivering more natural light to the front entrance and kitchen scullery without major structural changes.

A smart, practical daylight solution for Auckland homes.

Mt Albert

Sun Tunnel Replacement

A leaking, makeshift bathroom skylight had been causing problems for over 10 years, including water leaks and insect debris collecting on the diffuser.

We replaced it with a VELUX TWR OK14 rigid Sun Tunnel, carefully offset to suit the roof and direct natural light into the existing ceiling opening.

The ceiling was then plastered and painted to match, creating a clean, seamless finish.

Skylight & Ventilation Upgrade

This Clevedon loft needed better ventilation and more natural light.

We installed 2 × VELUX CO1 manual-opening skylights to bring fresh air into the loft while maximising the stunning countryside views.

A VELUX FCM 3055 was also installed in the living room to brighten the space with natural daylight.

Leaking Skylight Replacement

These older VELUX skylights were leaking and had reached the end of their service life.

We replaced 2 × VELUX FCM04 and 1 × VELUX VSM04, providing a reliable long-term solution.

We always diagnose the cause of the leak first. Where older skylights are beyond economical repair, replacement is often the best option.

Skylight & Kitchen Renovation

What started as a skylight installation in Sandringham turned into a complete kitchen renovation and ceiling transformation.

The original space was dark and dated. We redesigned the ceiling layout and installed 2 × VELUX FSC08 fixed skylights and 1 × VELUX FCM2230, bringing natural light deep into the kitchen and Working closely with the client and architect, we also created a feature border around the three

skylights, giving the ceiling a clean architectural finish.

All light shafts and skylight wells were fully framed, insulated and professionally finished to integrate seamlessly with the new ceiling.

Skylight Replacement & Leak Repair

Leaking skylights in Westmere, Auckland? This project involved replacing 2 × VELUX FCM4646 skylights that had been incorrectly installed on a low-pitched roof.

The existing pitched skylights were not suitable for the roof pitch, causing water leaks and ponding. We replaced them with the correct skylight system and installed roof crickets to direct water away and improve drainage.

Our experienced skylight installation team worked efficiently to complete the job quickly, with a focus on correct flashing, waterproofing and long-term performance.
