How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tiverton
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Devon, including Tiverton. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Exeter (20 km) and Taunton (30 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Tiverton
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.
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.
