How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chingford
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Greater London, including Chingford. 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.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Chingford sits about 3 km from Woodford Green and 4 km from Edmonton, and we cover the whole E4 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chingford
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. 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.

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.

Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
