Conservation rooflights in Bromsgrove: what is involved?
Our conservation rooflights service in Bromsgrove covers slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
We work across Worcestershire, including Bromsgrove, and in neighbouring towns such as Redditch and Droitwich. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for conservation rooflights in Bromsgrove
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
