How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scunthorpe
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Lincolnshire, including Scunthorpe. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Goole (20 km) and Gainsborough (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scunthorpe
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.
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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scunthorpe
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Scunthorpe?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Scunthorpe?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
