Skylights and rooflights in Peterhead
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Peterhead and the AB42 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.
Neighbouring towns include Ellon (23 km) and Fraserburgh (24 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Skylight questions: Peterhead
Can you work alongside my builder in Peterhead?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Peterhead?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Peterhead?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Peterhead?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
What guarantees do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we pass to you with the product data. Our workmanship terms are set out in the quote.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
