What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Yeovil involve?
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Yeovil? 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.
Stone cottages, slate roofs and conservation areas are common in the South West, and conservation-profile rooflights keep the roofline quiet. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Jobs in Yeovil 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.
What you can choose
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Works with architects and builders
- Drawing sign-off before order
Before you order: points to check
- Precise survey and template may be needed
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
Planning, building control and Yeovil
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. 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. 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.
