Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scarborough: what is involved?
For Scarborough 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.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across North Yorkshire, including Scarborough, and in neighbouring towns such as Bridlington and Hornsea. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Concealed or slim frames
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Corner, slope and multi-pane runs

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scarborough
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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Scarborough: questions
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.
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 I need planning permission in Scarborough?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Scarborough?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
