Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Pontypridd: the essentials
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Pontypridd? 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.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. In Pontypridd, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Pontypridd is around 10 km from Rhondda, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Mid Glamorgan, including the CF37 district.

Planning, building control and Pontypridd
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
