Skylight Installation Beaconsfield: VELUX Skylights & Sun Tunnels
A completed Beaconsfield daylight upgrade featuring two VELUX fixed skylights in the kitchen and dining area, plus rigid-shaft sun tunnels for the hallway and ensuite.
Completed twin VELUX skylights • Beaconsfield VICFour daylight openings matched to the rooms below
The project was planned around how each room was used, the available ceiling space and the roof above. Full-size fixed skylights were selected for the main living zone, while compact sun tunnels were used where a traditional skylight shaft was less practical.
Before and after: two finished VELUX skylights
This is the clearest matched project story in the current photo set: the kitchen and dining ceiling before work, followed by the completed pair of plastered skylight shafts bringing daylight into the living zone.

Roof installation
Four roof daylight products were installed across the home: two full-size fixed skylights and two sun tunnels.
Internal finishing
The skylight scope included framing, plastering and sanding for shafts up to the listed roof-cavity depth. Painting was left for the homeowner.
Flashing system
The C06 skylights used VELUX EDW flashing kits, a purpose-designed pitched-roof flashing solution listed for this job.
VELUX skylights and sun tunnels installed on a tiled roof
The roof photos show the two C06 fixed skylights, their pitched-roof flashing details and the separate roof penetrations used for the hallway and ensuite sun tunnels.
Finished skylight shafts and sun tunnel diffusers
The completed photos show the plastered VELUX skylight shafts in the main living area and the two circular sun tunnel diffusers delivering daylight to the hallway and ensuite.
One home, two different daylight solutions
This project is a useful example of why product selection should follow the room, ceiling and roof conditions. The larger kitchen and dining zone could benefit from two full-size fixed skylights, while the hallway and ensuite were better suited to compact sun tunnels.
Using the right solution for each location helps distribute natural light through more of the home without forcing a full skylight into every ceiling space.
