Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Market Drayton: what is involved?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Market Drayton? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Shropshire, including Market Drayton, and in neighbouring towns such as Whitchurch and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Triangular and trapezoid panes

Do you need permission in Market Drayton?
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Common questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
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.
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 Market Drayton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Market Drayton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
