Highlands and Islands
Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in the Highlands and Islands
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. Rear extensions in the Highlands and Islands: we cover 5 towns including Inverness, Elgin and Nairn, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Island and remote addresses in the Highlands and Islands are by arrangement: we confirm whether we can take the job, and agree any travel costs, before the first visit.
Rear extensions in the Highlands and Islands gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. Traditional stone houses sit alongside modern bungalows and timber-frame homes around the Highlands and Islands. A lighter, contrasting addition at the back often suits older stone houses better than trying to copy the walling.
