Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Taunton: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Taunton means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the TA1 district and the rest of Somerset, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Jobs in Taunton are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules for Taunton
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
