How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Aberdeen
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Aberdeen. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We cover all of Aberdeen and the AB10 district, and nearby Inverurie and Ellon.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Aberdeen
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

More we do in Aberdeen
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Aberdeen: questions
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will I need planning permission in Aberdeen?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberdeen?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
