Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
Scottish building standards, including Section 6 on energy, apply here, and a building warrant is normally needed for extensions and structural alterations.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Edinburgh are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.

Questions from Edinburgh
Will triple glazing stop rain noise?
It reduces it noticeably. Laminated glass reduces it further.
Do I need triple glazing to meet building regulations?
Not usually. Well-specified double glazed lanterns generally meet the limiting values for rooflights. Triple glazing is an upgrade, not normally a requirement. Your building control body can confirm for your project.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Edinburgh?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Edinburgh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Edinburgh?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
