How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Northallerton
For Northallerton 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Northallerton is around 48 km from York, and we survey and fit throughout that part of North Yorkshire, including the DL6 district.

Planning and building rules for Northallerton
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
