Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Berwick-upon-Tweed: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Berwick-upon-Tweed covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Berwick-upon-Tweed to Alnwick, Morpeth and Ashington, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Berwick-upon-Tweed
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Berwick-upon-Tweed: questions
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 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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
