Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wigan: what is involved?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wigan? 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.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. In Wigan, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Wigan is around 27 km from Manchester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater Manchester, including the WN1 district.

Planning and building rules for Wigan
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
