Why choose a Made to Measure Rooflight?
What Is a Roof Skylight?
A roof skylight is a glazed unit set into a roof to bring natural light into a room from above. The terms roof skylight, rooflight and roof window are often used interchangeably. In practice a skylight or rooflight usually sits on a flat roof or projects slightly above the roofline, while roof windows sit in the plane of a pitched roof.
Whichever term you use, the goal is the same: more natural lighting, a brighter living space and less reliance on electric lighting during the day.
Why Choose a Made to Measure Roof Skylight?
A standard-size unit does not suit every opening. A made to measure roof skylight is built precisely to your specification, so it fits your structure exactly, with no awkward gaps or compromises. You choose the size, glass and finish, and get a high quality skylight that sits neatly within the roof.

Types of Roof Skylight
We make several types of roof skylight to measure, so you can match the right type to your roof and room:
Fixed Roof Skylights
A fixed roof skylight is a non-opening unit built purely to maximise daylight. It suits rooms that already have ventilation and works well in extensions, kitchens and open-plan living spaces.
Opening Roof Skylights
An opening roof skylight adds ventilation as well as light, letting warm air and moisture escape. It is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and loft spaces.
Roof Lanterns and Pyramids
Roof lanterns and pyramid skylights are a raised, multi-panel option that adds height and floods larger extensions with light from several angles. They also work beautifully as roof lantern skylights over dining and living areas.
Domed Roof Skylights
Domed roof skylights, often made from polycarbonate, are a durable, cost-effective choice for flat roofs and commercial or utility areas.
Roof Skylights for Flat and Pitched Roofs
Most roof skylights are designed for flat roofs, where they sit flush or on a low upstand and shed water off a shallow pitch. Our made to measure flat roof skylights are built for exactly this. For sloped roofs a pitched roof window is used instead, as the two are not interchangeable. If you are unsure whether your roof is flat or pitched, our team can help you choose the right option.
Glazing and Energy Efficiency
Glazing is where a skylight earns its keep. Our made to measure units use a high-performance glazed unit, available double or triple glazed, with low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and a thermal break. This improves thermal insulation, helps prevent heat loss and keeps the room comfortable all year.
More natural lighting from above also reduces the need for electric lighting through the day, which helps lower energy bills, so an energy efficient unit pays back over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a roof skylight, a rooflight and a roof window?
They are different names for the same idea: a glazed unit that brings daylight through the roof. Skylight and rooflight are used interchangeably, while a roof window usually describes a unit set into a pitched roof.
Can I get a skylight in a custom size?
Yes. Every unit we supply is made to measure, built to your exact size for non-standard openings.
Are your skylights double or triple glazed?
Both. You can choose a double or triple glazed unit with Low-E glass for stronger thermal insulation.
Do skylights need planning permission?
Most fall under permitted development, but this varies by property and area, so it is worth checking with your local authority before ordering.
How long does a made to measure skylight take?
Lead times depend on the specification, and our team will confirm timings when you order.
