Reasons to arrange an assessment in Lochboisdale
- A yellowed or damaged collector is reducing daylight.
- The original diffuser is brittle, discoloured or no longer seals properly.
- You want to improve an old system while other roof work is taking place.
What to ask the installer to include
- Identify the existing make, diameter and roof opening, including parts that remain available.
- Examine the old opening and adjacent tiles, seals and insulation for damage.

- Remove only the components included in the quotation and install correctly matched new fittings.
- Check the completed joints, dispose of removed parts and agree any ceiling making-good.
