Conservation rooflights in Evesham: what is involved?
For Evesham 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Conservation rooflights suit slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Jobs in Evesham are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Options we can specify in Evesham
- Steel or aluminium frames
- Blinds
- Toughened or laminated double glazing
- Flashings for slate or plain tile
- Central vertical glazing bar
- Optional central glazing bar
- Double glazed behind a period look
Before you order: points to check
- Lead or matching flashings may be required
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible
Planning, building control and Evesham
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.
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. 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.
