Covering Cambuslang and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

We cover Cambuslang as part of Lanarkshire, about 6 miles from Hamilton.

Close by, we also cover Rutherglen (2 miles), East Kilbride (3 miles), Glasgow (5 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, supplied and fitted£1,995–£4,995 ex VAT£2,394–£5,994 inc VAT

Guide price for roof lantern replacement: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT (£2,394–£5,994 inc VAT), supplied and fitted. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
