Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Jedburgh: what is involved?
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across the Scottish Borders, including Jedburgh. In short: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Jedburgh is around 22 km from Galashiels, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the Scottish Borders, including the TD8 district.

Planning, building control and Jedburgh
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
