What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Uxbridge involve?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Uxbridge 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.
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 Uxbridge, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Uxbridge to Ruislip, Hayes and Gerrards Cross, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Uxbridge
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. 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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Uxbridge
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Uxbridge?
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 Uxbridge?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
