Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Abingdon: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Abingdon means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the OX14 district and the rest of Oxfordshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Abingdon, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Abingdon sits about 7 km from Didcot and 9 km from Oxford, and we cover the whole OX14 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Abingdon?
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. 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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Is the survey in Abingdon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Abingdon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
