How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chapeltown
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Chapeltown 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.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across South Yorkshire, including Chapeltown, and in neighbouring towns such as Rotherham and Sheffield. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Chapeltown?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
