How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fleet
For Fleet homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Hampshire, including Fleet, and in neighbouring towns such as Farnborough and Aldershot. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Fleet
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Solar-control and low-iron glass

- Structural or framed options

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fleet
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will I need planning permission in Fleet?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Fleet?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
