How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wokingham
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wokingham means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the RG40 district and the rest of Berkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Wokingham to Crowthorne, Bracknell and Earley, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Wokingham
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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.

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.

Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wokingham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Wokingham?
