Pitched roof windows for Aberfeldy: the essentials
For Aberfeldy homes and buildings we offer pitched roof windows: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Aberfeldy to Pitlochry, Crieff and Blairgowrie, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Combination and stacked windows
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Integral blinds and shutters

Do you need permission in Aberfeldy?
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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Will it need building regulations approval?
Fitting a new roof window usually involves cutting rafters and changing the thermal envelope, so building control approval (or, in England and Wales, a competent-person route) is normally needed. We tell you which applies.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberfeldy?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
