Roof lantern installation in Bonnyrigg

Guide prices in Bonnyrigg

Guide ranges for supply & fit. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.

Areas around Bonnyrigg we cover

Jobs across EH19, EH18 and EH24 are part of our normal cover for Bonnyrigg. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Musselburgh and Penicuik are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Your roof lanterns or ours

Supply and fit tends to suit people who would rather not pick a unit from a catalogue. We look at the roof, the opening and how you use the room, then put a roof lantern on the quote that fits all three. Fit-only suits people who already know what they want, or have one on site. We are happy with either. The difference is who stands behind what: on fit-only, the maker or retailer covers the product, and our workmanship guarantee covers the installation.

Included in the work

• Frame assembled on the kerb in the maker's set order
• Upstand checked for size, level and square before the kit is opened
• Internal trims fitted to the ring beam or upstand
• Level, not to a fall — We set or check the kerb level unless your lantern's maker says otherwise.
• Lanterns and planning — We check whether your lantern can go in without a planning application.

What happens on the day

Where a job takes one to two days, the split is usually structural work first and finishing second. Early on, the fitters cut or prepare the opening, trim where needed and prepare the upstand or flashing. Then a roof lantern is lifted in, fixed and made weathertight so the roof is sound before anyone moves inside. Plasterboard, trim and filler for the reveal come after. Each evening the work area is swept, and at the end the glass is cleaned and the team talks you through what was done.

Do you need permission in Bonnyrigg?

In Scotland a new rooflight needs a building warrant before work starts. A like-for-like replacement including the frame is exempt from a warrant but must meet current standards, so the glazing has to reach 1.6 W/m²K or better. For planning, rooflights on houses outside conservation areas can often go ahead under permitted development, but it is worth confirming with the planning authority.

Before you get in touch

For fit-only work, the product details matter most: the link, the spec sheet, or a photo of the label on the box. Alongside that, send pictures of the roof and the ceiling below, approximate opening sizes, the type of roof covering, and how someone would get onto the roof. For supply and fit, the same photos and sizes do the job. Finish with your postcode, such as EH19.
