What we do
Most skylight jobs involve a roofer, a carpenter and a plasterer. We do the lot — so there's one person to call, one price, and no gap between trades where the job stalls.
01 · On the roof
Fixed and openable skylights, roof windows and tubular daylight kits, cut in and sealed properly the first time. Tile, metal deck, Colorbond, flat or skillion.
02 · Weathering
Off-the-shelf flashing kits only suit a narrow range of roofs. We source and fabricate custom flashings made to your exact roof pitch and profile, so the finish sits flat and stays watertight.
03 · Inside
We frame the light shaft, sheet it, and hand it back square and set-ready for paint. No second tradesman, no waiting weeks for the ceiling to get patched up.
04 · Supply
We buy direct from local suppliers and pass the trade price on. If you've already been quoted, send it through — more often than not we'll come in under it on the same unit.
05 · Airflow
Whirlybirds and powered roof vents to pull the heat out of the roof cavity — the cheapest thing you can do to take the load off the air con through a Queensland summer.
06 · Repairs
Old acrylic domes go brittle, yellow and leak. We'll assess whether it's a reseal, a new flashing or a replacement unit, and tell you honestly which one you actually need.
07 · Extras
Remote-control blinds fitted to roof windows, solar lighting options, and custom skylights for the odd-shaped jobs that an off-the-shelf unit won't suit.
08 · Not sure?
Use the free size guide to see roughly how much skylight your room needs, then text Bryce a few photos and get a ballpark before anyone climbs a ladder.

Which one suits your roof
Not sure which one you need? That's what the free on-site quote is for — we'll look at your roof space, your pitch and where the sun tracks, then tell you what actually works.
Maximum light, nothing to maintain. The default for living rooms, kitchens and stairwells.
Light plus ventilation. Pole or electric opening, with a rain sensor that shuts it for you.
A reflective tube that snakes past trusses. Ideal for bathrooms, hallways and walk-in robes.
Whirlybirds and solar-powered vents that drop roof cavity temperature and ease the air con load.
How a job runs
STEP 01
We come out, get up in the roof space, check the pitch, the trusses and where the sun sits. You get a fixed price in writing — supply, install and ceiling finish, all in.
STEP 02
Roof opened, unit set, custom flashing fitted and sealed. Drop sheets down inside, and the roof is closed up watertight before we knock off — every time.
STEP 03
Shaft framed, sheeted and squared up, site cleaned out. All that's left for you is a coat of paint.

Free tools
Three free helpers: how much skylight your room needs, a quick way to send Bryce everything he needs for a quote, and what to do first if a storm's just smashed your skylight.
Pop in the room size. It uses a common rule of thumb: keep skylight glass to no more than about 5% of the floor area in a room with plenty of windows, and no more than about 15% in a room with few. Any bigger and the room can get too hot and glary.
A rough guide only. The right size depends on your roof pitch, where the sun tracks, the ceiling height and the unit sizes available. The 5% and 15% limits come from the US Department of Energy's skylight guide. Bryce will measure up properly at the free on-site quote.
Tick what you know, then hit send. Your phone opens a text to Bryce with it all filled in. Just attach these photos before you send:
Your message
Nothing is saved or sent from this page. It just fills in a text or email on your own phone.
Storms and hail are when skylights come off second best. Here's what to do while you wait.

Bryce and his subcontractor were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. They replaced our kitchen skylight after hail damage and made the whole process really easy. Communication was clear and reliable, the pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of the work was excellent. Everything was done efficiently and with great care, and Bryce even followed up afterward to make sure we were happy with the result. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing skylight or roof repairs.

Bryce installed our new Velux Skylight. It is absolutely beautiful. Bryce helped us with design/layout then seamlessly completed the job and had outstanding communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend.

Our old bathroom skylight broke so we got Bryce to replace it. He gave great advice about options. He communicated well about parts availability and install date. …

A recent savage storm at Redbank Qld saw my skylight smashed — Bryce came out within hours of my call and secured it with sheeting to keep the weather out and was back the next day to fit a replacement part. He also helped out many other people in my retirement village with similar problems. Super efficient and friendly service from our local tradie, and a very reasonable price as well. 10/10 from me on all counts and he is now on my 'trusted tradies' list. Would I recommend him — Hell yes :)

5 Stars – Highly Recommended! I recently had Redilight solar skylights installed by Southeast Skylights, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The difference is amazing—no more dark rooms! The natural light these skylights provide has transformed my space. The installation was seamless, Bryce was professional from start to finish. Absolutely terrific product and service. I highly recommend this company!

We had 2 skylights installed this week and they've made an AMAZING difference to our kitchen and lounge area. The guys at Southeast Skylights were excellent to deal with, they responded to my inquiries very quickly including on weekends and the result was exactly what i hoped for. I couldn't fault them.

Professional from start to finish. Bryce fixed our broken old skylight and it looks awesome. The new one is tinted and works much better than the old one, letting in the right amount of light. Was fast and affordable.

Questions
Both. We cut in and flash the unit on the roof, then frame the light shaft, sheet it and hand it back square and set-ready to paint. No second tradie, no patching job left for later.
A standard skylight or roof window gives the most light and suits living areas, kitchens and raked ceilings. A tubular skylight is a small dome on the roof with a reflective tube down to a round diffuser in the ceiling. It snakes past trusses, so it's great for bathrooms, hallways, laundries and walk-in robes. The free size guide above gives you a starting point, and Bryce will tell you what suits your roof on the quote.
It depends on the glass and where it faces. There are tinted and heat-reducing glazing options, openable roof windows let hot air out, and blinds can shade it in summer. Roof ventilation also helps pull heat out of the roof cavity. Ask about it at the quote. One reviewer's tinted replacement “works much better than the old one”.
Yes. We'll work out whether it needs a reseal, new flashing or a new unit, and tell you honestly which. If it's storm damage we make it watertight first. See “Storm or leak? Do this first” in the free tools.
We supply and install VELUX and Keylite roof windows (we're a certified Keylite and INFINITI installer for Natural Lighting Products), and customers have also had Redilight solar skylights installed. We also fit remote-control blinds to roof windows and offer solar lighting options.
Yes. We buy from local suppliers at trade pricing and can supply the unit on its own. If you've already been quoted elsewhere, send it through.
Ring or text 0412 276 427. For a ballpark, send a few photos (the ceiling and the roof from outside); the “Text a photo” tool above fills in the message for you. Then we come out and give you a proper quote on site, free.
We're based in Springfield Lakes and work across South East Queensland. Past jobs have taken us to Redbank, Margate, Kallangur, Biggera Waters and even the Northern Rivers. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.
