Conservation rooflights for Selby: the essentials
We handle conservation rooflights across North Yorkshire, including Selby. 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.
Converted barns and mills in Yorkshire often suit bespoke or ridge rooflights that follow the original structure. Typical uses for conservation rooflights include slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Neighbouring towns include Goole (15 km) and Pontefract (19 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Selby
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
