Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Arbroath: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Dundee and Angus, including Arbroath. 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Arbroath, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Arbroath is around 26 km from Dundee, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dundee and Angus, including the DD11 district.

Planning and building rules for Arbroath
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. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.

Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
