Skylights and rooflights across Lanarkshire
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights across Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.

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.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 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.

Yes. We survey and fit across Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Lanarkshire?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
Do I need planning permission?
Usually not for a rooflight on a house within the permitted development limits. Rules differ by nation: flats are not covered, listed buildings need listed building consent, and in Wales, Scotland and NI a rooflight in a conservation area needs permission. See our planning guide.
