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.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 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: Forfar
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Forfar?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Forfar and across Dundee and Angus. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Forfar free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Forfar?
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 Forfar?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
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.
