What does skylight replacement in Aberfeldy involve?
We handle skylight replacement across Perth and Kinross, including Aberfeldy. In short: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Aberfeldy, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
From Aberfeldy to Pitlochry, Crieff and Blairgowrie, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Fixed to electric opening
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs

Before you order: points to check
- Enlarging the opening changes the structure and may need approval
- Upstand and roof condition decide the scope
Do you need permission in Aberfeldy?
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. 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.

Common questions
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Can you replace only the misted glass?
Sometimes, if the frame is sound and the maker supplies replacement units. Often a complete new rooflight costs little more and performs better.
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberfeldy?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
