Bespoke & shaped rooflights for New Malden: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in New Malden? 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.
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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Greater London, including New Malden, and in neighbouring towns such as Surbiton and Kingston upon Thames. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and New Malden
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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 you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Is the survey in New Malden free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in New Malden?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
