Skylight replacement for Troon: the essentials
Skylight replacement in Troon means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the KA10 district and the rest of Ayrshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. In Troon, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Troon is around 13 km from Kilmarnock, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Ayrshire, including the KA10 district.

What to check first

- Enlarging the opening changes the structure and may need approval
Do you need permission in Troon?
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.
