Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Rochdale: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Rochdale 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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Rochdale sits about 5 km from Heywood and 6 km from Royton, and we cover the whole OL16 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Rochdale?
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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will I need planning permission in Rochdale?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof.
How do I book a survey in Rochdale?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
