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.

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.
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: Dumbarton
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Dumbarton?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Dumbarton and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Dumbarton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Dumbarton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Dumbarton?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Nothing is paid until you accept a written quote. Made-to-measure products are ordered after you accept, we tell you in writing when the order is placed, and the quote states the payment stages.
