What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Greenock involve?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, including Greenock. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Jobs in Greenock 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 Greenock
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. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Greenock
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Greenock?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Greenock free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
