How we approach frameless structural rooflights in Jedburgh
For Jedburgh homes and buildings we offer frameless structural rooflights: minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. In Jedburgh, as anywhere, frameless structural rooflights are the usual choice for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Jedburgh sits about 15 km from Kelso and 16 km from Hawick, and we cover the whole TD8 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Solar-control coatings
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal

Before you order: points to check
- The internal finish (plaster, shadow gap) is agreed before order
- Structural glass specification comes from the manufacturer
Consents for frameless structural rooflights in 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. 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
Will I see the edge of the glass?
From inside, the reveal is finished up to the glass so the edge is hidden. From outside you will see the glass and its edge seal.
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.

Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
