Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Luton: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Bedfordshire, including Luton. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. In Luton, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We cover all of Luton and the LU1 district, and nearby Dunstable and Harpenden.

- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames

What to check first

Planning and building rules for Luton
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
