Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Aldridge: the essentials
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across the West Midlands, including Aldridge. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Aldridge is around 14 km from Birmingham, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the West Midlands, including the WS9 district.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Aldridge
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
