Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lewisham: what is involved?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Greater London, including Lewisham. 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.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Greater London, including Lewisham, and in neighbouring towns such as Catford and Peckham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Concealed or slim frames
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Glass shaped to the architecture
- Matching solar and thermal performance
Before you order: points to check
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Do you need permission in Lewisham?
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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Lewisham
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.
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.

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.
