Factory-direct glass for Lancashire projects
Rather than buying through a reseller shipping units across the country, Preston homeowners and builders can buy direct from a manufacturer one county over. That means factory pricing, short lead times, and a technical team your installer can phone before the roof is even opened up.
We supply rather than fit — each rooflight arrives ready for your builder or roofer to install as part of the works.
Aintree to Preston is a straight run up the motorway — around 30 miles, so your glass arrives quickly and carefully.

Rooflights for Preston homes
Preston's stock runs from the Victorian terraces of Ashton-on-Ribble and Plungington to generous 1930s semis across Fulwood — both classic candidates for rear kitchen extensions, where one large frameless rooflight does more for light than a wall of glazing. Penwortham and Leyland's post-war semis follow the same pattern.
Newer developments around Cottam and North West Preston bring modern roof forms where made-to-measure flat rooflights slot cleanly into extensions and garden rooms, and rural properties towards Longridge and Garstang often want precise sizes for conversions.
Planning permission in Preston
For most Preston houses a rooflight is permitted development — no application — provided it projects no more than 150mm above the roof plane and no higher than the ridge.
Some parts of the city are protected, including the Winckley Square and Avenham conservation areas near the centre, and surrounding districts have their own authorities (South Ribble for Penwortham and Leyland, for example). If your home is in a conservation area or listed, check with Preston City Council — or the relevant local authority — before ordering.
Planning guidance here is general information, not advice for your specific property — always confirm with Preston City Council if you're unsure.
What affects the cost of a rooflight in Preston?
Configure any unit online for an instant made-to-measure price — these are the things that move it.
Size of the glass
Price scales with the glazed area. Because every unit is made to your exact millimetre sizes, you only pay for the glass you actually need — no rounding up to the next stock size.
Double or triple glazing
Triple glazing costs more but noticeably improves U-values — worth weighing up on large openings or north-facing roofs.
Walk-on specification
Walk-on rooflights use thicker, structurally rated glass tested to load-bearing standards, so they sit at a higher price point than a standard flat rooflight of the same size.
Glass coatings and tints
Solar control, self-cleaning coatings and tints each add a little to the price. Solar control is a sensible upgrade on large south-facing rooflights.
The upstand and fitting
We supply the rooflight; your builder or roofer forms the upstand and fits it. Ask them to price this alongside the roof works — fitting a rooflight into a flat roof that's already being worked on is usually quick.

Rooflights in Preston — common questions
Do you deliver rooflights to Preston?
Yes — delivery is free to Preston and its PR postcodes, as it is UK-wide. Stock items typically arrive in 1–7 working days; bespoke made-to-measure units normally within around 14 days.
Where are your rooflights made?
At our own facility in Aintree, Liverpool — roughly 30 miles from Preston. You're buying factory-direct from a North West manufacturer.
Do you fit rooflights in Preston?
We're a manufacturer, so we supply rather than fit. Every rooflight arrives ready to install and any competent builder, roofer or window fitter in Preston can fit one — it's a routine job on a flat roof. We're happy to talk through fixing details with your installer over the phone before or after you order.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Preston?
In many cases, no. Adding a rooflight to a house is usually permitted development, provided it doesn't project more than 150mm above the roof plane and sits no higher than the highest part of the roof. Flats, listed buildings and homes in conservation areas are different — if that might apply to your Preston home, check with Preston City Council before ordering.
What sizes can you make?
Any size, made to order. Tell us your exact dimensions to the millimetre and we manufacture to them — from a small hallway skylight up to large feature glazing over an open-plan kitchen.
