Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Telford: what is involved?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Telford means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the TF3 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. In Telford, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Telford is the main town we list in Shropshire; we also cover nearby Wellington and Bridgnorth.

Do you need permission in Telford?
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.

Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can you work alongside my builder in Telford?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
