Roof lanterns for Crieff: the essentials
We handle roof lanterns across Perth and Kinross, including Crieff. In short: hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Think of roof lanterns for orangeries, kitchen-diners and single-storey extensions.
From Crieff to Auchterarder, Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Internal and external colours
- Solar-control or self-cleaning glass
- LED lighting in the plaster box

Before you order: points to check
- Plaster-box depth affects how the lantern looks from below
- Larger lanterns may need a steel or timber ring beam
Planning, building control and Crieff
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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.

Roof lanterns in Crieff: questions
How big can a lantern be?
Aluminium systems go to around three by six metres in standard ranges; larger sizes are made to order.
Do they leak?
Modern lanterns are sealed systems. Leaks usually trace back to the kerb or roof membrane detail, which we form and check ourselves.
Roof lantern or flat rooflight?
A lantern adds height and sky from all sides; a flat rooflight is lower-profile and cleaner from outside. Our guide compares them in detail.
Is the survey in Crieff free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Crieff?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
