Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Stockport: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stockport? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we 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.
Stockport is around 10 km from Manchester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater Manchester, including the SK1 district.

Planning and building rules for Stockport
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. 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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stockport: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Stockport?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Stockport?
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.
