What does skylight replacement in Crieff involve?
Our skylight replacement service in Crieff 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.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. In Crieff, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Neighbouring towns include Auchterarder (12 km) and Dunblane (22 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Things we check at survey

Do you need permission in Crieff?
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. 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
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Crieff?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
