Questions from Glasgow
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 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 Glasgow?
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Glasgow?
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 G1.
