Conservation rooflights for Ludlow: the essentials
Conservation rooflights in Ludlow means slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. We cover the SY8 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Jobs in Ludlow are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules for Ludlow
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
