Factory-direct, from one glass town to another
Buying direct from a manufacturer up the road means no reseller margin, short delivery runs on the East Lancs, and a team you can ring who oversee the glass themselves. In a town with glassmaking in its blood, we think that's how it should be bought.
We supply rather than fit — every unit arrives ready for your builder or roofer to install, and we're happy to talk details with them directly.
Our Aintree factory is around 12 miles from St Helens — your glass is made, checked and delivered locally.

Rooflights for St Helens homes
The borough's streets of Victorian terraces — Thatto Heath, Sutton, the town centre fringes — are prime territory for rear kitchen extensions, where a single large frameless rooflight over the new space changes the whole feel of the house. Rainhill and Eccleston's interwar semis and detached homes suit bigger flat-roof extensions with a pair of rooflights or a walk-on unit over a lower ground room.
Newer estates around Newton-le-Willows and Haydock tend to have simpler roof forms, where a made-to-measure flat rooflight is an easy, high-impact upgrade during an extension or garage conversion.
Planning permission in St Helens
Most houses in St Helens can add a rooflight under permitted development, provided it projects no more than 150mm above the roof plane and sits no higher than the ridge.
If your home is listed or in one of the borough's conservation areas — parts of Rainhill and several village centres are protected — check with St Helens Borough Council's planning team before ordering. Made-to-measure sizing means we can match whatever dimensions and positions the planners are comfortable with.
Planning guidance here is general information, not advice for your specific property — always confirm with St Helens Borough Council if you're unsure.
What affects the cost of a rooflight in St Helens?
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 St Helens — common questions
Do you deliver rooflights to St Helens?
Yes — delivery is free across St Helens and its WA 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 — about 12 miles from St Helens. Factory-direct, from one glass town to its neighbour.
Do you fit rooflights in St Helens?
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 St Helens 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 St Helens?
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 St Helens home, check with St Helens Borough 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.
