What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Blyth involve?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Blyth 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. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We cover all of Blyth and the NE24 district, and nearby Ashington and Cramlington.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Blyth
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. 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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Blyth: questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Blyth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Blyth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
