Skylight replacement for Fraserburgh: the essentials
Our skylight replacement service in Fraserburgh covers replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. In Fraserburgh, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Neighbouring towns include Peterhead (24 km) and Ellon (36 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight replacement in Fraserburgh
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
