Skylights and rooflights in Arbroath
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Arbroath and the DD11 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights.
From Arbroath to Carnoustie, Montrose and Brechin, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. 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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.

Skylight questions: Arbroath
How do I book a survey in Arbroath?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Arbroath?
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.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Arbroath?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Arbroath and across Dundee and Angus. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Arbroath?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
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.
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.
