Conservation rooflights for Wrexham: the essentials
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Wrexham? The short answer: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Conservation rooflights suit period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
We cover all of Wrexham and the LL13 district, and nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.
Choices for your Wrexham project
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Blinds
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Manual or electric opening
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Traditional slim profile, sits low in the roof
- Suits slate and plain-tile roofs
Before you order: points to check
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
- Conservation officers may specify size and position
Planning, building control and Wrexham
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
