How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Barnsley
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Barnsley means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the S70 district and the rest of South Yorkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms. In Barnsley, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across South Yorkshire, including Barnsley, and in neighbouring towns such as Darton and Chapeltown. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Barnsley?
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.

Common 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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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 Barnsley?
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 Barnsley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
