Skylights and rooflights across Argyll and Bute
Skylights, roof lanterns and roof windows fitted throughout Argyll and Bute, from Campbeltown to Helensburgh, after a survey and a fixed written quote.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Argyll and Bute?
We cover much of Argyll and Bute, including Dunoon, Helensburgh, Lochgilphead. Campbeltown, Oban, Rothesay and other remote or island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Argyll and Bute?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed.
Will a rooflight make my room too hot?
It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
Do I need building regulations approval?
New openings and extensions go through building control. In England and Wales, replacements can often be self-certified through a competent person scheme; Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own routes. We tell you which applies.
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.
