How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Borehamwood
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Borehamwood means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the WD6 district and the rest of Hertfordshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Hertfordshire, including Borehamwood, and in neighbouring towns such as Barnet and Bushey. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Borehamwood
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
