Conservation rooflights for Wick: the essentials
Conservation rooflights in Wick: by arrangement. In short, slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
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. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
We cover Wick by arrangement: travel, ferries and weather affect what is practical, so we confirm what we can offer before quoting.

Planning, building control and Wick
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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
