How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Carrickfergus
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Carrickfergus means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the BT38 district and the rest of County Antrim, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. In Carrickfergus, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across County Antrim, including Carrickfergus, and in neighbouring towns such as Newtownabbey and Bangor, County Down. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Carrickfergus
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.

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.
