Questions from Dundee
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
What height should my upstand be?
High enough to keep water away from the lantern seal, commonly at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface. Follow the instructions for your chosen range.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Dundee?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for DD1.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dundee?
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.
