Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Tonbridge: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Kent, including Tonbridge. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Tonbridge sits about 7 km from Tunbridge Wells and 10 km from Sevenoaks, and we cover the whole TN9 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Tonbridge?
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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
