Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Briton Ferry: the essentials
For Briton Ferry homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Briton Ferry sits about 4 km from Neath and 5 km from Port Talbot, and we cover the whole SA11 postcode district and the roads in between.

- Solar-control and low-iron glass

Before you order: points to check

Planning, building control and Briton Ferry
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Briton Ferry
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will I need planning permission in Briton Ferry?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites.
Is the survey in Briton Ferry free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
