Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Streatham: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Streatham means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SW16 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. In Streatham, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Streatham sits about 2 km from Balham and 4 km from Clapham, and we cover the whole SW16 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Streatham
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. 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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Streatham
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Streatham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Streatham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
