Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Lochgilphead: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Lochgilphead 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.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Lochgilphead sits about 33 km from Dunoon and 39 km from Gourock, and we cover the whole PA31 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Lochgilphead
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.
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.

Common questions
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lochgilphead?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Lochgilphead?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
