How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Hailsham
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Hailsham means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the BN27 district and the rest of East Sussex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across East Sussex, including Hailsham, and in neighbouring towns such as Eastbourne and Seaford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Hailsham?
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. 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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hailsham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Hailsham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
