Conservation rooflights in Llandrindod Wells: what is involved?
Our conservation rooflights service in Llandrindod Wells 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.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Typical uses for conservation rooflights include period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Newtown (31 km) and Brecon (33 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Llandrindod Wells
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Common questions
Can they open?
Yes, most are top-hung or side-hung for ventilation and cleaning, with manual or electric operation.
Are conservation rooflights double glazed?
Most modern ones are, with slim units behind the traditional frame.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Llandrindod Wells?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Llandrindod Wells?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission.
