Questions from Derry
Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?
Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.
Will a traditional lantern need planning permission?
The style does not change the planning position; size, height and location do. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main cases where consent is more likely to be needed.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Derry?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Derry?
Yes. Delivery to Derry (BT47) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
