What do conservation rooflights in Farnham involve?
We handle conservation rooflights across Surrey, including Farnham. 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Farnham is around 20 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the GU9 district.
What you can choose
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Manual or electric opening
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Suits slate and plain-tile roofs
- Traditional slim profile, sits low in the roof
Things we check at survey
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
- Lead or matching flashings may be required
Consents for conservation rooflights in Farnham
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Farnham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Farnham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
