Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Norwich: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Norwich covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We cover all of Norwich and the NR1 district, and nearby Wymondham and Great Yarmouth.

- Corner and wrap-around glazing

Do you need permission in Norwich?
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Norwich
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will I need planning permission in Norwich?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Norwich?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
