Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Sutton Coldfield: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Sutton Coldfield 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. In Sutton Coldfield, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
From Sutton Coldfield to Aldridge, Birmingham and Tamworth, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Sutton Coldfield?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Common questions
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
How do I book a survey in Sutton Coldfield?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Sutton Coldfield free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
