What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Leatherhead involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Leatherhead means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the KT22 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Leatherhead is around 16 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the KT22 district.

Do you need permission in Leatherhead?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Leatherhead?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Leatherhead free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
