What do conservation rooflights in Wood Green involve?
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Wood Green? 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.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. In Wood Green, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Wood Green sits about 2 km from Muswell Hill and 2 km from Crouch End, and we cover the whole N22 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Wood Green
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
