Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Ashton-under-Lyne: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ashton-under-Lyne? 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.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Ashton-under-Lyne are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Concealed or slim frames
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Corner, slope and multi-pane runs
Before you order: points to check
- Precise survey and template may be needed
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ashton-under-Lyne
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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
