How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Warwick
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Warwick 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. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Warwickshire, including Warwick, and in neighbouring towns such as Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Concealed or slim frames
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Drawing sign-off before order
- Glass shaped to the architecture
What to check first
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Planning, building control and Warwick
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.
