Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Sandy: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Bedfordshire, including Sandy. 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Sandy sits about 5 km from Biggleswade and 10 km from St Neots, and we cover the whole SG19 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Sandy project
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Concealed or slim frames
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs

- Structural or framed options
Before you order: points to check
- Structural support must be designed in
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Planning and building rules for Sandy
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Sandy: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.

Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.

Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
