Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dukinfield: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Dukinfield covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Dukinfield, and in neighbouring towns such as Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Dukinfield
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
