Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
Scottish building standards, including Section 6 on energy, apply here, and a building warrant is normally needed for extensions and structural alterations.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Edinburgh are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.

Questions from Edinburgh
What is the biggest roof lantern you can supply?
It depends on the range. Some go to about 6 m by 4 m with intermediate rafters. Send us your kerb size and we will confirm what can be made.
How is a large lantern delivered?
On pallets, usually with the frame and glass packed separately. The heaviest single item is normally a glass unit, which needs two or more people to lift safely.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Edinburgh?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Edinburgh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Edinburgh?
Yes. Delivery to Edinburgh (EH1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
