Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Newcastle-under-Lyme: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Stoke-on-Trent (3 km) and Longton (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Newcastle-under-Lyme
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.
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.

Common questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will I need planning permission in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
