Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fulham: what is involved?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fulham? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Fulham to Chelsea, Wandsworth and Kensington, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Fulham
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Concealed or slim frames
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Structural or framed options
Things we check at survey
- Structural support must be designed in
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Planning and building rules for Fulham
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. 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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fulham: questions
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.
Is the survey in Fulham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Fulham?
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.
