What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Winsford involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Winsford means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the CW7 district and the rest of Cheshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Cheshire, including Winsford, and in neighbouring towns such as Northwich and Crewe. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Winsford
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
