Conservation rooflights for Putney: the essentials
For Putney homes and buildings we offer conservation rooflights: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
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.
We work across Greater London, including Putney, and in neighbouring towns such as Barnes and Fulham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Blinds
- Manual or electric opening
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Traditional slim profile, sits low in the roof
- Often preferred by conservation officers
Before you order: points to check
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
- Lead or matching flashings may be required
Planning, building control and Putney
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. 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.
