Skylights and roof windows in Wimbledon

Period homes in Wimbledon

Much of Wimbledon is Victorian and Edwardian, and parts of it, around the Village in particular, are conservation areas. On a period roof the look of a roof window matters, so we fit Velux conservation windows where they suit: a slim dark frame and a central glazing bar that sit quietly in slate or tile.

Kitchen extensions

A rear kitchen extension is usually bright by the garden doors and dim at the back. A roof lantern lifts the ceiling and brings in light from every side; a long flat glass rooflight near the back wall lights the worktops, as on our Kingston extension.

Planning in Wimbledon

The London Borough of Merton is the planning authority. Most rooflights on houses are permitted development, but conservation areas, listed buildings and flats have their own rules, and a new opening in the roof usually needs building regulations approval.
