Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Annan: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Annan 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. In Annan, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Annan to Lockerbie, Dumfries and Castle Douglas, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Annan?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. 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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Annan: questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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 Annan?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Annan?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
