Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Burnley: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Burnley means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the BB11 district and the rest of Lancashire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. In Burnley, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Burnley sits about 4 km from Nelson and 8 km from Colne, and we cover the whole BB11 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Burnley?
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.
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. 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.
