How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ballymena
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Ballymena 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.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Ballymena to Magherafelt, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Ballymena
In Northern Ireland, roof alterations come under Class B of the 2015 order: a rooflight facing a road must not project more than 15 cm and must sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves, verge and party wall. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ballymena
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
How do I book a survey in Ballymena?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Ballymena?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
