Pitched roof + flat ceiling

The most common arrangement in Australian homes. Because there is a roof cavity between the roof and the ceiling, the daylight travels down through a lined shaft to the room below, which is where a lot of the craft sits.

How to recognise it

Does this sound like your place?

Tile or metal roof that slopes
Flat ceilings inside the house
A roof space or manhole above the ceiling
Often bathrooms, hallways, kitchens and internal rooms

What we handle

From the roof through to the finished ceiling.

Roof penetration and roof reinstatement
Structural carpentry and framing to the opening
Lined light shaft between roof and ceiling
Ceiling opening, plastering and finishing
Flashing, waterproofing and weatherproofing
Final finishing and clean-up

Installed with a builder's eye for detail.

We are not simply cutting a hole in a roof and installing a window. We consider structure, roof integration, waterproofing, ceiling finishes, plasterwork, natural light, overall appearance and how the work will read in years to come.

Standard solution or completely custom.

Custom glass skylights, glass roof windows, operable glazing, skylights on concrete hobs, bespoke configurations and non-standard sizes, for applications outside a standard product range.
