How we approach conservation rooflights in Inverurie
We handle conservation rooflights across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Inverurie. In short: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Jobs in Inverurie 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 and building rules for Inverurie
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. 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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
