Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Bedfordshire: the essentials
Across Bedfordshire, our bespoke & shaped rooflights work covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Survey first, fixed price second, fitting third.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go.

Planning and building rules in England
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you offer bespoke & shaped rooflights across Bedfordshire?
Yes. We carry out bespoke & shaped rooflights across Bedfordshire, including Luton, Bedford, Dunstable.
