Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Haverhill: the essentials
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Haverhill 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.
Coastal towns in the East of England see salty air, so we specify frame finishes and fixings with exposure in mind. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Haverhill is around 49 km from Ipswich, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Suffolk, including the CB9 district.

- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Solar-control and low-iron glass

- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Triangular and trapezoid panes

Planning, building control and Haverhill
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Haverhill
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.
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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can you work alongside my builder in Haverhill?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Haverhill?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
