Questions from Montrose
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Montrose?
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Montrose?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
