How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Port Talbot
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Port Talbot 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
From Port Talbot to Briton Ferry, Neath and Maesteg, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Port Talbot
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights

What to check first
- Large panes need a lifting plan

Planning and building rules for Port Talbot
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.
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.
