Conservation rooflights for Staines: the essentials
For Staines 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of conservation rooflights for period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Staines is around 13 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the TW18 district.
Specification options
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Manual or electric opening
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Blinds
- Steel or aluminium frame in black or grey
- Double glazed behind a period look
Things we check at survey
- Lead or matching flashings may be required
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
Planning and building rules for Staines
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
