Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gerrards Cross: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gerrards Cross means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SL9 district and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Gerrards Cross, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Gerrards Cross is around 53 km from Milton Keynes, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Buckinghamshire, including the SL9 district.

Planning and building rules for Gerrards Cross
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.
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. 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.
