Brass period rooflight handle opener for pole operated opening mechanisms.
Inc. Lumen Rooflights
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.

Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
The opener is designed for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights. The telescopic shaft and adjustable mounting bracket allow it to be fitted to a range of rooflight frames. If you have a specific rooflight model, call us on 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility.
Our brackets are more commonly used on cast iron rainwater systems. Unlike plastic, cast iron is heavy and the weight keeps the gutter in position. As such our brackets do not normally have retaining clips which could lead to plastic or lightweight gutters blowing out of the bracket. The profile of your gutter should match that of our bracket but without the weight to keep it in place you may well encounter problems in bad weather.
The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener designed for manual control of timber-framed skylights and Lumen Rooflights. The 300mm fixed arm is suited to standard rooflight positions and is finished in polished brass.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a choice of finishes including primer, painted, and specialist heritage finishes. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or submit an enquiry to discuss the right finish for your project.
