How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fort William
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fort William: by arrangement. In short, triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Fort William is in a remote or island area, so surveys and fitting here are by arrangement. Send your postcode and we will tell you honestly whether and when we can help.

Planning, building control and Fort William
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.
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.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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 you offer bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fort William?
By arrangement. Fort William is a remote or island location, so send your postcode and photos and we will confirm what we can offer before any survey is booked.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Fort William?
