Conservation rooflights in Edmonton: what is involved?
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Edmonton? 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.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.

Do you need permission in Edmonton?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
