Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Carnoustie: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Dundee and Angus, including Carnoustie. 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Carnoustie sits about 10 km from Arbroath and 17 km from Dundee, and we cover the whole DD7 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Carnoustie
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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Carnoustie: questions
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
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 you work alongside my builder in Carnoustie?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Carnoustie?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
