Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in Ayrshire
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. Across Ayrshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine.
Rear extensions in Ayrshire gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. Ayrshire has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
What does it cost in Ayrshire?
As a guide, £2,200–£4,500 including VAT. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
What approvals does it need in Ayrshire?
Insulation and glazing follow Section 6 of the Scottish Technical Handbook; the building warrant drawings show how the extension meets it.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
