Why this suits City of Edinburgh
A lantern puts daylight into the middle of a plan where a window cannot reach — the usual answer on the single-storey rear extensions common in City of Edinburgh.
Georgian New Town and Victorian tenements, plus interwar and modern stock. Exposed east-coast conditions with strong winds. The failure that tends to come first is Rot in original sash boxes and heat loss through single glazing — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
World Heritage and conservation control is exceptionally strict — heritage profiles are usually the only route. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Roof lanterns in City of Edinburgh — questions
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in City of Edinburgh?
Rot in original sash boxes and heat loss through single glazing. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to City of Edinburgh take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 3–5 working days once made for the run to City of Edinburgh. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
