How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Northwich
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Northwich means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the CW9 district and the rest of Cheshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Northwich to Winsford, Warrington and Runcorn, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Northwich
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Northwich
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Can you work alongside my builder in Northwich?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Northwich?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
