Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Montrose: the essentials
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Montrose covers dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. 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. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
We work across Dundee and Angus, including Montrose, and in neighbouring towns such as Brechin and Arbroath. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Montrose project
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Opening vents and electric actuators

Before you order: points to check
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
Do you need permission in Montrose?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
