Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Machynlleth: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Machynlleth means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the SY20 district and the rest of Powys, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. In Machynlleth, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Machynlleth is around 38 km from Newtown, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Powys, including the SY20 district.

Do you need permission in Machynlleth?
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.
