What do conservation rooflights in Fulham involve?
We handle conservation rooflights across Greater London, including Fulham. In short: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
We work across Greater London, including Fulham, and in neighbouring towns such as Chelsea and Wandsworth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Fulham?
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
