Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Keswick: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Keswick 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Keswick is around 35 km from Carlisle, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Cumbria, including the CA12 district.

Do you need permission in Keswick?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Keswick: questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
Is the survey in Keswick free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Keswick?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
