Conservation rooflights for Egham: the essentials
For Egham 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Typical uses for conservation rooflights include slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
From Egham to Staines, Ashford, Surrey and Windsor, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Egham
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. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Common questions
Will the council accept it?
We cannot promise an outcome, but a slim conservation profile fitted low in the roof is the type many conservation officers ask for.
Do they suit slate roofs?
Yes — flashings are made for slates and for plain tiles.
Can they open?
Yes, most are top-hung or side-hung for ventilation and cleaning, with manual or electric operation.
How do I book a survey in Egham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Egham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
