Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Truro: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Truro means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the TR1 district and the rest of Cornwall, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We cover all of Truro and the TR1 district, and nearby Falmouth and Redruth.

Planning and building rules for Truro
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Truro
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 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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Truro?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Truro?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
