How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Notting Hill
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Notting Hill? 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Notting Hill is around 6 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the W11 district.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Notting Hill
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.
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
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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 Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
