How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Willesden
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Greater London, including Willesden. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Willesden is around 8 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the NW10 district.

Do you need permission in Willesden?
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.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Willesden: questions
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 bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Willesden?
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 Willesden?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
