Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chadderton: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chadderton means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the OL9 district and the rest of Greater Manchester, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Chadderton, and in neighbouring towns such as Oldham and Royton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Chadderton?
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. 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.
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. 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.

Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.

Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.

Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
