What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ayr involve?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Ayrshire, including Ayr. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Ayr are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Options we can specify in Ayr
- Concealed or slim frames
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Drawing sign-off before order
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ayr
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
How do I book a survey in Ayr?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Ayr free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
