Questions from Penicuik
Can you build the upstand as well?
We can quote for upstands and associated roofing on a survey basis.
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 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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Penicuik?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Penicuik gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
