Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Largs: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Largs means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the KA30 district and the rest of Ayrshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.

Planning and building rules for Largs
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.

Common questions
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 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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Largs?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Largs free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
