What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Leigh involve?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Leigh 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Leigh, and in neighbouring towns such as Atherton and Tyldesley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Leigh?
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. 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.
