What do bespoke & shaped rooflights in Droitwich involve?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Droitwich 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.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Bespoke & shaped rooflights suit angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across Worcestershire, including Droitwich, and in neighbouring towns such as Bromsgrove and Worcester. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Sloped or monopitch rooflights
- Triangular and trapezoid panes
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Concealed or slim frames
- Corner and wrap-around glazing
- Glass shaped to the architecture
- Matching solar and thermal performance
What to check first
- Large panes need a lifting plan
- Precise survey and template may be needed
Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Droitwich
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.

Common 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.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Droitwich?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Droitwich free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
