Questions from Penicuik
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.

We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Penicuik?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
