How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hawick
Thinking about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hawick? The short answer: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.

Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hawick
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.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. 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.
