Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Brecon: what is involved?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Powys, including Brecon. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. In Brecon, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Powys, including Brecon, and in neighbouring towns such as Merthyr Tydfil and Ebbw Vale. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Brecon
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Concealed or slim frames
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Corner, slope and multi-pane runs
What to check first
- Precise survey and template may be needed
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Brecon
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. 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.

Common questions
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.
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.
