How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Renfrew
For Renfrew 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, including Renfrew, and in neighbouring towns such as Clydebank and Erskine. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Concealed or slim frames
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Drawing sign-off before order
What to check first
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Do you need permission in Renfrew?
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.
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.
What do bespoke & shaped rooflights cost in Renfrew?
These are typical supply-and-fit ranges. For an address in Renfrew, scaffold, a hoist for heavy glass, or a new structural opening can move the figure, which is why we survey first.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Renfrew
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can you work alongside my builder in Renfrew?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Renfrew?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed.
