What do roof lanterns in Eyemouth involve?
Our roof lanterns service in Eyemouth covers hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Typical uses for roof lanterns include rooms that need height as well as light.
Neighbouring towns include Kelso (37 km) and Haddington (44 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need 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. 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.

Roof lanterns in Eyemouth: questions
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.
Aluminium or uPVC?
Aluminium gives slimmer bars and a longer life; uPVC costs less. We fit both.
Can a lantern go on an existing extension?
Yes, if the flat roof structure can be opened up and trimmed. We check joists and the roof build-up at survey.
Is the survey in Eyemouth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Eyemouth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
