Rooflights for Kirkwall homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Kirkwall and the KW15 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.
We cover Kirkwall by arrangement: travel, ferries and weather affect what is practical, so we confirm what we can offer before quoting.

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. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
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.

Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Kirkwall?
By arrangement. Kirkwall is a remote or island location, so send your postcode and photos and we will confirm what we can offer before any survey is booked.
Does travel to Kirkwall cost more?
It can. Travel, ferries and accommodation are priced into the quote where they apply, and we tell you before you commit.
Will I need planning permission in Kirkwall?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Kirkwall and across the Highlands and Islands. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
What guarantees do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we pass to you with the product data. Our workmanship terms are set out in the quote.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
