Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Maidenhead: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Maidenhead means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SL6 district and the rest of Berkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Maidenhead is around 19 km from Reading, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Berkshire, including the SL6 district.

Do you need permission in Maidenhead?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
