What does skylight installation in Carnoustie involve?
We handle skylight installation across Dundee and Angus, including Carnoustie. In short: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of skylight installation for new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Jobs in Carnoustie are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules for Carnoustie
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
