How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Huntly
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Huntly means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the AB54 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. In Huntly, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Huntly 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.

Planning and building rules for Huntly
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.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
