How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Abergavenny
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Gwent, including Abergavenny. 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 Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Gwent, including Abergavenny, and in neighbouring towns such as Pontypool and Ebbw Vale. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Corner and wrap-around glazing

Before you order: points to check
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Planning and building rules for Abergavenny
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Abergavenny: questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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 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.
Will I need planning permission in Abergavenny?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission.
