What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rhondda involve?
For Rhondda homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Rhondda is the main town we list in Mid Glamorgan; we also cover nearby Tonypandy and Aberdare.

- Solar-control and low-iron glass

- Triangular and trapezoid panes

What to check first
- Large panes need a lifting plan

Planning, building control and Rhondda
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Rhondda
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Rhondda?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Rhondda?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
