Skylights and rooflights across Ayrshire
Skylights, roof lanterns and roof windows fitted throughout Ayrshire, from Kilmarnock to Irvine, after a survey and a fixed written quote.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.

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.
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.

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.

Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
