Conservation rooflights in Leominster: what is involved?
Our conservation rooflights service in Leominster covers slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
We work across Herefordshire, including Leominster, and in neighbouring towns such as Ludlow and Hereford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Leominster
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.
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.

We cannot promise an outcome, but a slim conservation profile fitted low in the roof is the type many conservation officers ask for.

Yes — flashings are made for slates and for plain tiles.

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.
