Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Wickford: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wickford means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SS12 district and the rest of Essex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
In the East of England, bungalows and chalet bungalows with large flat-roofed extensions are common, and they often suit a long run of rooflights. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Wickford sits about 5 km from Pitsea and 6 km from Rayleigh, and we cover the whole SS12 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Wickford
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. 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.
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.
