What does skylight installation in Perth involve?
Our skylight installation service in Perth covers survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. 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 skylight installation include new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Perth is the main town we list in Perth and Kinross; we also cover nearby Auchterarder and Kinross.

Consents for skylight installation in Perth
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.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
How long does installation take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand takes about a day. A new opening in an existing roof, including making good, often takes two to three days.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For new openings that cut joists or rafters, a structural check is sensible and building control may ask for calculations.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Perth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Perth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
