Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Great Malvern: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Great Malvern 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.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Think of bespoke & shaped rooflights for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Worcestershire, including Great Malvern, and in neighbouring towns such as Ledbury and Worcester. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Great Malvern
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. 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
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
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.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Great Malvern?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
