Conservation rooflights in Bromley: what is involved?
Our conservation rooflights service in Bromley covers slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. In Bromley, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
From Bromley to Beckenham, Catford and Eltham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Blinds

Do you need permission in Bromley?
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.
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. 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.
