Questions from Kilmarnock
How long does fitting take?
A lantern on a ready upstand is often fitted in a few hours. Replacement and new openings take longer.
Do you need to survey before fitting?
For a lantern on a ready upstand, clear photos and measurements are often enough. Replacements and new openings need a survey.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Kilmarnock?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kilmarnock?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Kilmarnock gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
