Sky Lights advice please

[Guest]

Hi everyone

 

We have a 60 x 12 foot widebeam with just portholes at the moment and want to add some extra light by having sky lights does anyone know of anyone they could recommend that is reasonable to quote install these we are in Sussex at the moment where the boat is being fitted out.

 

I am wondering also if anyone that fits skylights can do a boat as it is the same principle for security but not sure any recommendations would really be appreciated

 

Thanks

Google Houdini Hatches.   They are recommended.

 

edit just seen you were after installers, not the skylights ?

Its not for me to say but I am told he did a bloody good job. It will depend wether he wants to do another one I suppose. You could message that nice Mr Wotever and ask him if he knows anything about it ?

Mr Kedian is busy for the next year he told me. Perhaps tick him off your list.

Already been in contact with him and all good he is busy but will order for when he has time he is great to talk to so feel confident we have found the right person for the job thanks guys

The wooden one above was Mike’s design. I believe he’s now retired himself.

Somebody's going around saying you know how to hire a van, which in my book is clever. Anything more difficult than  that confuses me.

Having 3 Houdini's with their dripping condensation, mainly off the aluminium frames, I would go for the beautiful wood ones with double glazing. They would match my hardwood windows.

Yes, there is some maintenance, but its better than the drips.
