Questions from Portrush
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
Can I order a lantern before the upstand is built?
Yes, if you build the upstand to the lantern's stated external size. Many people order the lantern and upstand together so they match.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Portrush?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
