Questions from Carnoustie
Can I fit a small lantern myself?
Small lanterns are within the reach of a competent builder or roofer. The critical parts are a level, square, weatherproof upstand and the manufacturer's fixing instructions. In existing homes, replacement rooflights are building work that may need building control involvement.
Are small lanterns available quickly?
Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Carnoustie?
With the midsummer sun about 56.9° high at noon, roof glass in Carnoustie gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Carnoustie?
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.
