What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wandsworth involve?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wandsworth? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Battersea (1 km) and Chelsea (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wandsworth
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. 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.
