How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Southall
For Southall 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.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Greater London, including Southall, and in neighbouring towns such as Greenford and Ealing. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Structural or framed options
- Glass shaped to the architecture
What to check first
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Do you need permission in Southall?
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.
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Southall: questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
