Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Tewkesbury: what is involved?
For Tewkesbury homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Cheltenham (12 km) and Gloucester (15 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Tewkesbury?
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. 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. 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.
