Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Ilkeston: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ilkeston means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the DE7 district and the rest of Derbyshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Ilkeston is around 12 km from Derby, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Derbyshire, including the DE7 district.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ilkeston
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Ilkeston?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Ilkeston free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
