Large skylight installation in bungalow

Supercell

Looking to get a large skylight (large as possible really, UK08 Velux size seems good - 134 x 140cm) fitted to the roof above our living room which is NE facing and dull in the evenings.
The house is a small bungalow. The living room ceiling is flat so a chase or light tunnel will need to be constructed as well.
Any ideas or total cost for installation and materials? We are located in Loughlinstown in Dublin south.

My guess will be 1200 euros without window, including materials- timber, insulation, plastering, painting etc. plus VAT 13.5%

Thanks very much Handsandtools, so around 2.5k is likely to be the overall cost so, really appreciate it. Will have to get saving.

IMO this is not going to add much light in the evening if NE facing.

Apart from the mula, it will never be as warm as the existing ceiling, most lightly workers will disturb, and not fix properly the existing insulation.
Pipes and wiring may need to be rerouted and it will lose the clean lines in the attic for further insulation if required

Look at brightening the room decor/lighting etc

Jumping in on this. In the planning stages of a renovation of old house, and was thinking the same thing, adding 2 velex or 1 large to north facing roof. The ceiling is angled with the pitch of the roof, so no tunnel needed. Do you reckon it's best to leave it and spend money elsewhere?

I would always add the Windows during construction. Even if you only get a small amount of light, it's better than none and it's a PITA to try go back and retrofit Velux or a fixed pane.
