What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Leamington Spa involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Leamington Spa means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the CV32 district and the rest of Warwickshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Warwickshire, including Leamington Spa, and in neighbouring towns such as Warwick and Kenilworth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Leamington Spa
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
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
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 Leamington Spa?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Leamington Spa?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge.
