Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Banchory: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Banchory means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the AB31 district and the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Banchory are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Concealed or slim frames
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Works with architects and builders
Before you order: points to check
- Structural support must be designed in
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Do you need permission in Banchory?
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Banchory: questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
How do I book a survey in Banchory?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Banchory?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
