How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dewsbury
For Dewsbury 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Dewsbury sits about 1 km from Batley and 3 km from Ossett, and we cover the whole WF12 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Concealed or slim frames
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Structural or framed options
- Glass shaped to the architecture
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Planning and building rules for Dewsbury
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. 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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dewsbury: questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Can you work alongside my builder in Dewsbury?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Dewsbury?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
