How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Whitley Bay
For Whitley Bay 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.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Whitley Bay is around 13 km from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Tyne and Wear, including the NE26 district.

Planning and building rules for Whitley Bay
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.
