How we approach conservation rooflights in Redhill
For Redhill 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. In Redhill, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Redhill is around 28 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the RH1 district.
Specification options

- Manual or electric opening
- Steel or aluminium frames

Before you order: points to check
- Listed building consent is needed for listed buildings
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
Planning, building control and Redhill
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
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.
