What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Exmouth involve?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Exmouth? 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.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Devon, including Exmouth, and in neighbouring towns such as Exeter and Newton Abbot. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Exmouth
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Exmouth
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 you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Is the survey in Exmouth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Exmouth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
