Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Pitsea: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Essex, including Pitsea. 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 homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows. In Pitsea, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Pitsea are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Concealed or slim frames
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Works with architects and builders
Before you order: points to check
- Precise survey and template may be needed
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Do you need permission in Pitsea?
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Pitsea
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.
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.
