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.

Usually, if the kerb is sound and the size suits a standard or made-to-measure lantern.

Yes. We'd rather do a repair that works than sell a lantern you don't need.

Which towns in Scottish Borders do you cover?

All of Scottish Borders, including Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Peebles, Selkirk. Rural and remote addresses are covered by arrangement.
