How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Eyemouth
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Eyemouth covers light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Kelso (37 km) and Haddington (44 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Eyemouth?
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights cost in Eyemouth?
These are typical supply-and-fit ranges. For an address in Eyemouth, scaffold, a hoist for heavy glass, or a new structural opening can move the figure, which is why we survey first.

Questions about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Eyemouth
Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Do sun tunnels need planning permission?
Usually not on a house, provided the dome does not project too far and the property is not listed. Check if you live in a conservation area or a flat.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Eyemouth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
