Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Farnborough: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Farnborough? 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Farnborough sits about 5 km from Camberley and 5 km from Aldershot, and we cover the whole GU11 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Farnborough
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. 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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
