What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Livingston involve?
For Livingston 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 Livingston, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Bathgate (8 km) and Bo'ness (14 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames
- Structural or framed options
- Drawing sign-off before order
Before you order: points to check
- Structural support must be designed in
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Do you need permission in Livingston?
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Livingston
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Is the survey in Livingston free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Livingston?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
