How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Bo'ness
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Bo'ness means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the EH51 district and the rest of the Forth Valley, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.

Planning, building control and Bo'ness
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Bo'ness
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Bo'ness?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Bo'ness?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
