Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gorseinon: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Gorseinon 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 Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across West Glamorgan, including Gorseinon, and in neighbouring towns such as Llanelli and Swansea. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Gorseinon
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

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