Skylights and rooflights in Hamilton
SkylightCompany.uk covers Hamilton and the surrounding part of Lanarkshire, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.
Hamilton sits about 4 km from Motherwell and 7 km from Wishaw, and we cover the whole ML3 postcode district and the roads in between.

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. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
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: Hamilton
Will I need planning permission in Hamilton?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Hamilton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hamilton?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Hamilton?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can I cancel?
Made-to-measure products are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right, but you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer. Our terms explain the rest.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
