Questions from Thurso
Who deals with building control?
We will explain on your quote how building regulations will be met for your job and who is responsible for any notification.
How long does fitting take?
A lantern on a ready upstand is often fitted in a few hours. Replacement and new openings take longer.

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 Thurso?
