How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ossett
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ossett? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. In Ossett, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across West Yorkshire, including Ossett, and in neighbouring towns such as Dewsbury and Batley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs

- Structural or framed options
- Matching solar and thermal performance
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Structural support must be designed in
Planning, building control and Ossett
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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 I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Ossett?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Ossett?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
