What we fit in Eyemouth
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Eyemouth — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
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.
We work across the Scottish Borders, including Eyemouth, and in neighbouring towns such as Kelso and Haddington. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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.
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: Eyemouth
Is the survey in Eyemouth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Eyemouth?
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Eyemouth?
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 Eyemouth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
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.
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.
