Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lancaster: what is involved?
For Lancaster 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.
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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Lancashire, including Lancaster, and in neighbouring towns such as Morecambe and Fleetwood. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lancaster
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. 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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Is the survey in Lancaster free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lancaster?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
