Questions from Airdrie
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Airdrie?
Yes. Delivery to Airdrie (ML6) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Airdrie?
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.
