Questions from Peterhead
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Peterhead?
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.
