What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stratford involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stratford means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the E15 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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.
Stratford is around 9 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the E15 district.

Planning, building control and Stratford
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. 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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stratford: questions
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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 you work alongside my builder in Stratford?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Stratford free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
