Rooflights for Castle Douglas homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Castle Douglas and the surrounding part of Dumfries and Galloway, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
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.
Castle Douglas is around 25 km from Dumfries, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dumfries and Galloway, including the DG7 district.

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.
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: Castle Douglas
Can you work alongside my builder in Castle Douglas?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Castle Douglas?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Castle Douglas free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Castle Douglas?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
