Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cardigan: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cardigan means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SA43 district and the rest of Dyfed, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Cardigan is around 56 km from Llanelli, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dyfed, including the SA43 district.

Things we check at survey

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cardigan
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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 Cardigan 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 Cardigan?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
