How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chiswick
For Chiswick 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 London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. In Chiswick, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Greater London, including Chiswick, and in neighbouring towns such as Hammersmith and Acton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Concealed or slim frames
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Works with architects and builders
- Drawing sign-off before order
Things we check at survey
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Chiswick
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
