How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Corby
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Corby means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the NN17 district and the rest of Northamptonshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Jobs in Corby are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Do you need permission in Corby?
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. 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.

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.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Corby free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
