What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stranraer involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stranraer means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the DG9 district and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, 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. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Jobs in Stranraer 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.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stranraer
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. 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. 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.

Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
