How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Musselburgh
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Musselburgh covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Jobs in Musselburgh are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Musselburgh
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.
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Musselburgh
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Musselburgh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Musselburgh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
