How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Edinburgh
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Edinburgh? 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.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We cover all of Edinburgh and the EH1 district, and nearby Musselburgh and Dalkeith.

- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Solar-control and low-iron glass

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Edinburgh
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.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 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.
