How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Barry
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Barry means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the CF62 district and the rest of South Glamorgan, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Barry to Dinas Powys, Penarth and Cardiff, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Barry
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Common questions
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Can any shape be made?
Most straight-edged shapes can be made in glass, within the manufacturer's size and angle limits. Curved glass is possible but specialist.
Is the survey in Barry free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Barry?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed.
