Conservation rooflights for Bordon: the essentials
We handle conservation rooflights across Hampshire, including Bordon. 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
From Bordon to Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Bordon?
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

How the job runs
- Send the details. Postcode, rough size and a photo of the roof and room.
- Survey. We measure the opening, check the roof build-up and agree the options.
- Fixed quote. Product, work and price in writing — nothing is ordered until you agree.
- Installation day. Usually one day into a prepared opening, longer for new openings.

Conservation rooflights in Bordon: questions
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.
Are conservation rooflights double glazed?
Most modern ones are, with slim units behind the traditional frame.
Can you copy an original rooflight?
Some makers produce bespoke sizes to match an existing opening. We can survey and quote.
Is the survey in Bordon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Bordon?
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.
