How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Weston-super-Mare
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Weston-super-Mare? 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.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Weston-super-Mare to Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon and Nailsea, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Weston-super-Mare?
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
