Conservation rooflights for Caerphilly: the essentials
We handle conservation rooflights across Gwent, including Caerphilly. 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Caerphilly is around 15 km from Newport, Gwent, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Gwent, including the CF83 district.
What you can choose
- Blinds
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Suits slate and plain-tile roofs
- Double glazed behind a period look
Before you order: points to check
- Listed building consent is needed for listed buildings
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
Planning, building control and Caerphilly
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
