Bespoke & shaped rooflights for Worcester: the essentials
For Worcester homes and buildings we offer bespoke & shaped rooflights: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include openings that standard sizes do not fit.
Worcester is the main town we list in Worcestershire; we also cover nearby Droitwich and Great Malvern.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Worcester
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. 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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Worcester?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Worcester free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
