Skylights and rooflights across Perth and Kinross
Skylights, roof lanterns and roof windows fitted throughout Perth and Kinross, from Perth to Auchterarder, after a survey and a fixed written quote.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development 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.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Perth and Kinross?
Yes. We survey and fit across Perth and Kinross, including Perth, Aberfeldy and Auchterarder. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Perth and Kinross?
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.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes — offices, schools, warehouses and retail, including smoke vents and fragile-roof replacements, with safe access planned.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair and maintenance visits are charged, and we tell you the visit price first.
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.
