How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dunoon
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dunoon? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.

Planning, building control and Dunoon
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dunoon: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Dunoon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Dunoon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
