How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Huntingdon
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Huntingdon means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the PE29 district and the rest of Cambridgeshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Cambridgeshire, including Huntingdon, and in neighbouring towns such as St Ives and St Neots. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Huntingdon?
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. 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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Huntingdon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Huntingdon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
