Towns we list in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire is part of our normal coverage in Scotland. Fitting teams travel out to the property, so a town-centre terrace and a house down a farm track are treated alike, as long as a fitter can get the unit to the roof safely. Dates are offered according to fitter availability, and the cost of travel is already in your written quote.
What's included
- Protective film removed and the anti-slip surface left clean
- Unit bedded and fixed so it sits level with the finished surface
- Support frame or upstand prepared to the approved structural design
- Drainage around the glass — We check how water will drain from the terrace around the unit.
- Non-fragile is not walk-on — We make sure the unit is genuinely designed for foot traffic.
Rules that apply in Scotland
If you live in Scotland, the key question is whether the job is new or a replacement. A new rooflight needs a building warrant. Swapping an old rooflight for a new one, frame included, doesn't, as long as the new unit meets the standards: the energy figure for new or replacement rooflights in alterations is 1.6 W/m²K. Conservation areas have no householder permitted development rights for roof alterations, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Common questions in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
Can you fit a rooflight in winter or when it is raining?
Yes, within limits. Cold is less of a problem than wet, because membranes, primers and sealants need a dry surface to bond. We plan fitting days around the forecast and may move a date if heavy rain is due. If the roof has to be opened up, it is not left overnight without a temporary weather seal, so the room below stays dry while the work is finished.
Do you make good inside after fitting?
Yes, where the quote includes it. Internal finishing usually means lining the reveal with plasterboard, taping or skimming, and fitting trim where it meets the ceiling. Some people prefer their own plasterer or decorator to finish off, which is fine. The written quote spells out exactly where our work stops, so nobody is left guessing about who does what once the unit is in.
Do you cover Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire and the surrounding districts, including AB and DD 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.
