How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Grangemouth
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Grangemouth? 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.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across the Forth Valley, including Grangemouth, and in neighbouring towns such as Falkirk and Bo'ness. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Grangemouth?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development 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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Grangemouth: questions
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Grangemouth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Grangemouth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
