Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Redditch: the essentials
Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Redditch means triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We cover the B97 district and the rest of Worcestershire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 Redditch, and in neighbouring towns such as Bromsgrove and Alcester. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Redditch?
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. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Is the survey in Redditch free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
