Questions from Limavady
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 an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Limavady?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Limavady?
Your district council's building control service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
