Conservation rooflights for Jedburgh: the essentials
Our conservation rooflights service in Jedburgh covers slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. In Jedburgh, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
We work across the Scottish Borders, including Jedburgh, and in neighbouring towns such as Kelso and Hawick. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Jedburgh
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Are conservation rooflights double glazed?
Most modern ones are, with slim units behind the traditional frame.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Jedburgh?

Is the survey in Jedburgh free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
