Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Liverpool: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Liverpool means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the L1 district and the rest of Merseyside, 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Liverpool is the main town we list in Merseyside; we also cover nearby Birkenhead and Wallasey.

Do you need permission in Liverpool?
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Liverpool
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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Liverpool?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Liverpool?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
