Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stafford: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Stafford covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. In Stafford, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Staffordshire, including Stafford, and in neighbouring towns such as Rugeley and Cannock. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Corner, slope and multi-pane runs
- Glass shaped to the architecture
Before you order: points to check
- Structural support must be designed in
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Do you need permission in Stafford?
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.
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. 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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Stafford
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
How do I book a survey in Stafford?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Stafford free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
