How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Felling
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Felling? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Tyne and Wear, including Felling, and in neighbouring towns such as Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Concealed or slim frames
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Glass shaped to the architecture
Before you order: points to check
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Planning and building rules for Felling
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.
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. 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.
