Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Hebburn: what is involved?
For Hebburn homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone villages inland in the North East can have conservation areas where low-profile rooflights are preferred. In Hebburn, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Tyne and Wear, including Hebburn, and in neighbouring towns such as Jarrow and Wallsend. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights

Planning and building rules for Hebburn
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
