Questions from Fort William
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Fort William?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for PH33.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Fort William?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
