How we approach conservation rooflights in Rhosllannerchrugog
For Rhosllannerchrugog homes and buildings we offer conservation rooflights: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Rhosllannerchrugog, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
From Rhosllannerchrugog to Wrexham, Buckley and Hawarden, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Rhosllannerchrugog
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
