Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Peterhead: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Peterhead covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Peterhead sits about 23 km from Ellon and 24 km from Fraserburgh, and we cover the whole AB42 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Peterhead
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Peterhead
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Peterhead?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Peterhead?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
