Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Frome: the essentials
For Frome homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone cottages, slate roofs and conservation areas are common in the South West, and conservation-profile rooflights keep the roofline quiet. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Frome to Warminster, Trowbridge and Bath, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Concealed or slim frames
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Works with architects and builders
Before you order: points to check
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Do you need permission in Frome?
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. 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.
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. 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.
