Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Risca: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Risca 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Risca to Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran and Caerphilly, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Risca
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.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
How do I book a survey in Risca?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Risca?
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.
