How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Sidcup
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Sidcup covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow side returns are typical of much of London, and a glass roof or long flat rooflight is the usual way to keep the back rooms bright once the return is built over. In Sidcup, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Bexley (4 km) and Welling (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Sidcup
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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Sidcup?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Sidcup?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
