What do conservation rooflights in Walton-on-Thames involve?
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Walton-on-Thames? The short answer: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Typical uses for conservation rooflights include slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
We work across Surrey, including Walton-on-Thames, and in neighbouring towns such as Sunbury-on-Thames and Esher. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Walton-on-Thames
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. 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.
