How we approach conservation rooflights in South Croydon
We handle conservation rooflights across Greater London, including South Croydon. 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.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Conservation rooflights suit period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Croydon (2 km) and Purley (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in South Croydon?
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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.

Common questions
Are conservation rooflights double glazed?
Most modern ones are, with slim units behind the traditional frame.
Do I need consent for a conservation rooflight?
On a listed building you need listed building consent. In a conservation area, check with the council — many areas have Article 4 directions affecting roof alterations.
Will the council accept it?
We cannot promise an outcome, but a slim conservation profile fitted low in the roof is the type many conservation officers ask for.
