What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Weymouth involve?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Dorset, including Weymouth. 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.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Dorchester (12 km) and Bridport (25 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Weymouth
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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.
