What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Wick involve?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Wick: by arrangement. In short, light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
We cover Wick by arrangement: travel, ferries and weather affect what is practical, so we confirm what we can offer before quoting.

Do you need permission in Wick?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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.

Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
