Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Prescot: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Prescot means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the L34 district and the rest of Merseyside, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Prescot to Huyton, St Helens and Halewood, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Prescot
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. 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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Prescot
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Prescot?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Prescot?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
