Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Milton Keynes: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Milton Keynes? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Milton Keynes is the main town we list in Buckinghamshire; we also cover nearby Bletchley and Leighton Buzzard.

Planning and building rules for Milton Keynes
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. 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. 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.
