Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tyldesley: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tyldesley means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the M29 district and the rest of Greater Manchester, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Atherton (2 km) and Leigh (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Tyldesley?
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tyldesley: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
Is the survey in Tyldesley free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Tyldesley?
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.
