Skylights and rooflights across the Forth Valley
SkylightCompany.uk covers the whole of the Forth Valley — homes, extensions, schools and commercial roofs — with a free survey for new installations.
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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. 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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
