Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tynemouth: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tynemouth means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the NE30 district and the rest of Tyne and Wear, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Stone villages inland in the North East can have conservation areas where low-profile rooflights are preferred. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.

Planning and building rules for Tynemouth
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
