What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ashington involve?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Northumberland, including Ashington. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many North East homes have loft rooms that benefit from larger roof windows with blackout blinds. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Ashington is around 7 km from Blyth, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Northumberland, including the NE63 district.

Planning, building control and Ashington
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ashington: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Can you work alongside my builder in Ashington?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Ashington free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
