How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Jarrow
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Jarrow means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the NE32 district and the rest of Tyne and Wear, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Tyne and Wear, including Jarrow, and in neighbouring towns such as Hebburn and Wallsend. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Jarrow?
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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Jarrow: questions
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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.

Can you work alongside my builder in Jarrow?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
