Conservation rooflights in Fleet: what is involved?
We handle conservation rooflights across Hampshire, including Fleet. 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. In Fleet, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Neighbouring towns include Farnborough (6 km) and Aldershot (6 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Fleet
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do they suit slate roofs?
Yes — flashings are made for slates and for plain tiles.
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.
How do I book a survey in Fleet?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Fleet?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
