Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Helensburgh: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Helensburgh 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Helensburgh is the main town we list in Argyll and Bute; we also cover nearby Greenock and Gourock.

- Concealed or slim frames

Planning and building rules for Helensburgh
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development 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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
What do bespoke & shaped rooflights cost in Helensburgh?

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Helensburgh
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Is the survey in Helensburgh free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Helensburgh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
