How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Worthing
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across West Sussex, including Worthing. 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
Worthing sits about 12 km from Portslade and 12 km from Littlehampton, and we cover the whole BN11 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Worthing
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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
