Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Forfar: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Dundee and Angus, including Forfar. 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.
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.
Neighbouring towns include Kirriemuir (8 km) and Brechin (17 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Forfar?
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.
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.
