The Brass Rooflight Opener Handle – 1520mm is a handmade pole-operated rooflight handle finished in polished brass, designed for use with timber-framed rooflights and skylights that require operation from floor level or from a distance. At 1520mm in length, it is suited to rooflights positioned above head height — common in stairwells, hallways, and double-height spaces in period and traditional buildings.
The handle is constructed with a turned hardwood grip and a polished brass shaft, terminating in a 15mm-diameter hook for engagement with a rooflight stay or fitting. The handmade construction gives each piece a considered, craft quality that suits heritage interiors. It is commonly specified alongside Lumen Rooflight systems but is compatible with any rooflight fitted with an appropriate catch or stay.
Frequently ordered alongside a coat hook, the handle doubles as a decorative wall feature when not in use — a practical consideration in entrance halls and period interiors. Suited to Georgian terraces, Victorian townhouses, country houses, listed buildings, and any project where the opening mechanism should remain visually consistent with the building’s character.

The Pultney Tapered Hopper Head is well suited to Georgian and Regency townhouses, Victorian terraces, rural farmhouses, barns, and functional estate buildings where a plain, period-correct hopper is the appropriate specification. It also works well on new heritage-style construction. Its unfussy, chamfered form makes it a versatile choice across a wide range of traditional building types.
Yes. Both the satin and polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder openers are compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights. Call 0333 987 4452 if you need to confirm compatibility with a specific model.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.

The H528 measures 760mm wide x 370mm deep x 565mm high, making it well suited to the largest properties in the range — substantial country houses, civic buildings and ecclesiastical projects.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
For rooflights directly above a worktop or sink, a telescopic screw-jack hand winder is the most practical choice. Available in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome, these openers allow controlled ventilation from a fixed handle position without requiring a pole. The 150mm or 250mm size is typically appropriate for standard-height kitchen rooflights.
The H542A measures 240mm wide x 240mm deep x 290mm high, making it well suited to a compact square profile suited to smaller Georgian and Victorian properties, extensions and outbuildings.

A corner hopper head collects rainwater from two gutters running at right angles and channels it into a single downpipe. They are typically required at internal roof valleys, on hipped roofs, and wherever two runs of gutter converge at a corner. The Regent H1A is designed specifically for this application and is sized to suit the most common gutter profiles.
