What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Longton involve?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Longton 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Longton sits about 4 km from Stoke-on-Trent and 7 km from Newcastle-under-Lyme, and we cover the whole ST3 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Longton
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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Longton
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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 Longton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Longton?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
