Conservation rooflights for Liverpool: the essentials
For Liverpool homes and buildings we offer conservation rooflights: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Liverpool is the main town we list in Merseyside; we also cover nearby Birkenhead and Wallasey.
Options we can specify in Liverpool
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Blinds
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Manual or electric opening
- Suits slate and plain-tile roofs
- Steel or aluminium frame in black or grey
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
Do you need permission in Liverpool?
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
