How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Neath
Thinking about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Neath? The short answer: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Briton Ferry (4 km) and Pontardawe (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Triangular and trapezoid panes

- Multi-pane butt-jointed runs
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights

- Matching solar and thermal performance
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Neath
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. 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.
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. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Neath: questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.

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