Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lockerbie: what is involved?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lockerbie? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Dumfries and Galloway, including Lockerbie, and in neighbouring towns such as Annan and Dumfries. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Lockerbie project
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Structural or framed options
Before you order: points to check
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Structural support must be designed in
Do you need permission in Lockerbie?
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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
