How we approach conservation rooflights in Yeadon
We handle conservation rooflights across West Yorkshire, including Yeadon. 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.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. In Yeadon, as anywhere, conservation rooflights are the usual choice for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Yeadon sits about 2 km from Guiseley and 6 km from Shipley, and we cover the whole LS19 postcode district and the roads in between.

What to check first

Consents for conservation rooflights in Yeadon
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
