Questions from St Andrews
Will a new lantern be warmer?
A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.
My old lantern leaks. Is it the lantern or the roof?
Often the roof or kerb detailing. A survey or close inspection will tell. If the lantern is the problem, replacing it is usually better value than repairing old polycarbonate.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in St Andrews?
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 KY16.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in St Andrews?
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.
