Questions from East Kilbride
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.
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in East Kilbride?
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 G74.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in East Kilbride?
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.
