How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Limavady
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Limavady means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the BT49 district and the rest of County Londonderry, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across County Londonderry, including Limavady, and in neighbouring towns such as Coleraine and Derry/Londonderry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Limavady
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. 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.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

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 bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Will I need planning permission in Limavady?
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.
