What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Crawley involve?
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Crawley means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the RH11 district and the rest of West Sussex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Crawley is the main town we list in West Sussex; we also cover nearby Horley and Horsham.

Do you need permission in Crawley?
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. 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.
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.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Crawley
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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
How do I book a survey in Crawley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Crawley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
