Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Haddington: what is involved?
For Haddington homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. In Haddington, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Haddington to North Berwick, Musselburgh and Dalkeith, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Sloped or monopitch rooflights

What to check first

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Haddington
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.
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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Haddington: questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
How do I book a survey in Haddington?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Haddington?
