Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cirencester: what is involved?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Cirencester? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.

Planning and building rules for Cirencester
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. 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. 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.

Common questions
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 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.
Is the survey in Cirencester free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Cirencester?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
