Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wembley: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Wembley 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. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Harrow (4 km) and Greenford (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Wembley
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wembley
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will I need planning permission in Wembley?
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.
How do I book a survey in Wembley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
