How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rothesay
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rothesay: by arrangement. In short, triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Rothesay is in a remote or island area, so surveys and fitting here are by arrangement. Send your postcode and we will tell you honestly whether and when we can help.

Planning, building control and Rothesay
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. 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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rothesay
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Do you offer bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rothesay?
By arrangement. Rothesay is a remote or island location, so send your postcode and photos and we will confirm what we can offer before any survey is booked.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Rothesay?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
