What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Coleraine involve?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Coleraine? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Coleraine sits about 20 km from Limavady and 39 km from Ballymena, and we cover the whole BT51 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Coleraine?
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
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.
Do you offer bespoke & shaped rooflights in Coleraine?
Yes. We carry out bespoke & shaped rooflights in Coleraine and across County Londonderry. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Coleraine?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
