Towns we list in Perth & Kinross
Coverage in Perth & Kinross works by postcode, not by distance from an office. Give us the full postcode and we will confirm whether it is standard cover, as it is for most of Scotland, or one of the few remote and island areas handled by arrangement. Either way, you get a written quote before any work is booked, with travel included in the price.
What's included
- Glass bedded on the specified tape or sealant and fixed through the concealed frame
- Inside reveal formed so plaster or trim meets the glass cleanly
- Upstand built to the maker's drawing within its stated tolerance
- Drainage at the overhang — We check how water leaves the glass where it oversails the kerb.
- How the reveal will look — We agree the finish at the glass edge before building anything.
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 Perth & Kinross
Can you replace an old dome without redoing the whole roof?
Usually, yes. If the existing kerb is sound, level and tall enough, a new unit can often sit on it with a fresh seal to the roof covering. If the kerb is rotten or too low, we rebuild it and patch the covering around it rather than stripping the whole roof. This is checked at the survey and included in the written quote, so you know the full scope first.
What upstand height and roof pitch does frameless rooflight fitting need?
It depends on the product. Manufacturers usually specify a minimum upstand height above the finished roof surface, and a minimum pitch on the glass so rain runs off. We follow the maker's figures for your unit rather than a rule of thumb. If your existing kerb or roof falls short, we explain the options, such as raising the upstand or choosing a unit with built-in pitch.
What is included in the price?
The written quote lists it line by line. Typically that covers fitting labour, fixings, sealants, membrane or flashing materials, any upstand work, internal finishing if agreed, and taking away the waste. For supply and fit, the unit itself is included too. Scaffold, lifting gear and any third-party fees, where needed, are shown separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
