Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Littlehampton: what is involved?
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across West Sussex, including Littlehampton. 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Littlehampton sits about 10 km from Bognor Regis and 12 km from Worthing, and we cover the whole BN17 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Concealed or slim frames
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Matching solar and thermal performance
- Drawing sign-off before order
Before you order: points to check
- Longer lead times and no returns on made-to-measure glass
- Large panes need a lifting plan
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Littlehampton
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Littlehampton: questions
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
How do I book a survey in Littlehampton?
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 Littlehampton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
