What do frameless structural rooflights in Hawick involve?
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Hawick covers minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of frameless structural rooflights for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Hawick is around 21 km from Galashiels, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the Scottish Borders, including the TD9 district.
Options we can specify in Hawick
- Heated glass on some ranges

Things we check at survey

Consents for frameless structural rooflights in Hawick
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development 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. 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.

Common questions
Can it open?
Some frameless designs include a sliding or hinged opening element, but most are fixed. Pair with an opening unit if you need ventilation.
How is it lifted onto the roof?
Larger panes go up with a vacuum lifter, a hoist or a crane. We plan access at survey.
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
