Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dagenham: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dagenham means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the RM10 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Dagenham are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Specification options
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Concealed or slim frames
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Structural or framed options
Before you order: points to check

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dagenham
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Dagenham: 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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Dagenham?
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.
Is the survey in Dagenham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
