How we approach conservation rooflights in Carmarthen
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Carmarthen? 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.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Neighbouring towns include Llanelli (22 km) and Ammanford (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Carmarthen
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. 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.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
