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. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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.

Skylight questions: Dumfries
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Dumfries?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Dumfries and across Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Dumfries?
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 Dumfries?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Dumfries free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can I cancel?
Made-to-measure products are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right, but you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer. Our terms explain the rest.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
