How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Peterlee
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Peterlee? 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.
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 openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Seaham (9 km) and Hartlepool (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Peterlee
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

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 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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Peterlee?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Peterlee?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
