How we approach conservation rooflights in Stourport-on-Severn
For Stourport-on-Severn 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Typical uses for conservation rooflights include slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Stourport-on-Severn sits about 6 km from Kidderminster and 12 km from Droitwich, and we cover the whole DY13 postcode district and the roads in between.

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