Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Berkhamsted: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Berkhamsted means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the HP4 district and the rest of Hertfordshire, 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 angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Chesham (7 km) and Hemel Hempstead (8 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Berkhamsted?
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.
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.
