What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Enfield involve?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Greater London, including Enfield. 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.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Edmonton (3 km) and Tottenham (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Enfield
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. 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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Enfield
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Enfield?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Enfield free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
