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.
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: East Kilbride
Is the survey in East Kilbride free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in East Kilbride?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in East Kilbride?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in East Kilbride?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in East Kilbride and across Lanarkshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will a rooflight make my room too hot?
It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
