What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Crieff involve?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Crieff 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for side returns, links and long extensions.

Planning and building rules for Crieff
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 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.

Common questions
How long does a ridge roof take to fit?
Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
Is a glass roof too hot for a kitchen?
Without care, it can be. Solar-control glass, an opening vent at the top and a blind make a south-facing glass roof comfortable.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Crieff?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Crieff?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
