Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gosport: what is involved?
For Gosport 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. In Gosport, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Gosport sits about 3 km from Portsmouth and 7 km from Fareham, and we cover the whole PO12 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Concealed or slim frames
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Corner, slope and multi-pane runs
Things we check at survey
- Precise survey and template may be needed
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gosport
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gosport: questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Is the survey in Gosport free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Gosport?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
