Questions from Hamilton
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
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 Hamilton?
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Hamilton?
Yes. Delivery to Hamilton (ML3) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
