Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Melton Mowbray: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Melton Mowbray? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Leicestershire, including Melton Mowbray, and in neighbouring towns such as Oakham and Loughborough. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames

Planning, building control and Melton Mowbray
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. 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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Is the survey in Melton Mowbray free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Melton Mowbray?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
