Included in the work
- Rafters trimmed with timbers that suit the existing roof
- Position checked against any consent drawings or council conditions
- Rooflight set low so it sits close to the line of the roof
- Conservation area rules by nation — We check the permitted development position for your nation before the rooflight is ordered.
- Energy and old roofs — We make sure the rooflight meets current energy rules while suiting an older roof build-up.
Rules that apply in Scotland
For Scottish homes: building warrant for new rooflight openings; no warrant for replacing a rooflight complete with its frame, provided it meets the standards, including 1.6 W/m²K; planning permission in conservation areas and listed building consent for listed properties. Outside those, permitted development usually covers house rooflights, but the planning authority has the final word, so we check before you commit.
Common questions in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde
Do you cover Renfrewshire & Inverclyde?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde and the surrounding districts, including G and PA postcodes. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.
Do you need scaffolding to fit a rooflight?
Not always. Single-storey roofs can often be reached safely with ladders, a tower or edge protection. Higher roofs, steep pitches and large units usually need scaffold or a mobile platform, and heavy glass may need a crane. We assess access from your photos or at the survey, and any scaffold or lifting cost is shown as its own line on the written quote.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde?
Often not. Many rooflights fall under permitted development, provided they do not project beyond the national limit and meet the other conditions that apply in Scotland. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some flats are different and may need consent. Because the rules depend on the property, we confirm what is likely to apply at your address and point you to the planning authority where an application is needed.
