What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Consett involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Consett means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the DH8 district and the rest of Durham, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Consett is around 41 km from Darlington, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Durham, including the DH8 district.

Do you need permission in Consett?
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. 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
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Consett?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Consett?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
