Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Pitlochry: the essentials
For Pitlochry 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Perth and Kinross, including Pitlochry, and in neighbouring towns such as Aberfeldy and Blairgowrie. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Pitlochry
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
