What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ealing involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Ealing means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the W5 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Greater London, including Ealing, and in neighbouring towns such as Southall and Greenford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Ealing?
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
