How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wolverhampton
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wolverhampton means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the WV1 district and the rest of the West Midlands, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across the West Midlands, including Wolverhampton, and in neighbouring towns such as Wednesfield and Willenhall. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Wolverhampton?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Wolverhampton: questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wolverhampton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Wolverhampton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
