Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Highbury: the essentials
For Highbury 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.
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.
Highbury is around 5 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the N5 district.

Do you need permission in Highbury?
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. 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.
