Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Cheadle Hulme: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Greater Manchester, including Cheadle Hulme. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Cheadle Hulme to Stockport, Hazel Grove and Wilmslow, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Cheadle Hulme
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.
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. 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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cheadle Hulme: questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
How do I book a survey in Cheadle Hulme?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Cheadle Hulme?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
