Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Wilmslow: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Wilmslow covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Wilmslow sits about 6 km from Cheadle Hulme and 10 km from Hazel Grove, and we cover the whole SK9 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wilmslow
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
