How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Morecambe
For Morecambe 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Morecambe are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Concealed or slim frames
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Glass shaped to the architecture
- Works with architects and builders
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Structural support must be designed in
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Morecambe
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
