What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Salford involve?
For Salford homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. In Salford, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Salford is around 4 km from Manchester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater Manchester, including the M6 district.

Planning, building control and Salford
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. 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.
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. 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.

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.
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.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
