Flexible daylight tubes have a reflective concertina lining that can follow a short, gently offset route. A survey should check whether the available path falls within the chosen product’s limits rather than relying on the tube’s flexibility alone.
Reasons to arrange an assessment in Bournemouth
- A small hallway has a short roof-to-ceiling distance.
- Minor loft obstructions make a straight connection awkward.
- You want to compare a lower-cost flexible option with a rigid system.
What to ask the installer to include
- Check the measured route against the product’s limits and assess likely daylight.
- Avoid tight bends, sagging sections and squeezed tube walls when planning the route.
- Fit the roof collector with flashing made for the roof covering.
- Fix and support the flexible tube so that its connections remain secure.
- Reinstate insulation, seal the ceiling fitting and remove installation debris.
The corrugated lining and bends generally transmit less light than an equivalent smooth rigid route. A flexible system is not a solution for every long or complicated loft run. Compare the likely result as well as the initial cost.
What affects the quotation in Bournemouth
