Rooflights for Lerwick homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Lerwick and the ZE1 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs.
We cover Lerwick 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
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: Lerwick
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Lerwick?
By arrangement. Lerwick 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 Lerwick cost more?
It can. Travel, ferries and accommodation are priced into the quote where they apply, and we tell you before you commit.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Lerwick?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Lerwick?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
