How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Waterlooville
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Waterlooville means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the PO7 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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.
Waterlooville sits about 4 km from Havant and 10 km from Portsmouth, and we cover the whole PO7 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Waterlooville
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
