A Heritage of Innovation
While The Conservation Rooflight remains a central
pillar of The Rooflight Co's identity, the company has
continued to innovate. Its Conservation Plateau, a
flat-roof variant for heritage contexts, has extended the
potential of traditional-style rooflights into new architectural applications. Meanwhile, its Neo and Neo Advance
solutions serve the contemporary market, offering
flush-fit and walk-on rooflight options with cutting-edge
aesthetics and performance credentials.
Light, Legacy and Longevity
At the heart of The Rooflight Co's work is a simple but
profound belief: that great architecture, whether historic
or contemporary, deserves the best expression of daylight.
The company’s rooflights are more than building components; they are instruments of architectural storytelling.
Whether channelling light into a restored Victorian reading room or subtly illuminating a converted rural barn,
these rooflights help bridge past and present.
As our built heritage continues to evolve with historic
buildings being adapted, reused, and reinterpreted,
products like The Conservation Rooflight play a vital role
in enabling sensitive, sustainable transformation. They
allow for performance upgrades without aesthetic
compromise, and for innovation without the erosion of
character.
Even with this expansion into modern design, the
heritage DNA of the business remains intact. In 2019,
Peter and Val King handed ownership of the company to
its 40-strong team, making The Rooflight Co an
employee-owned enterprise. This transition has only
deepened the company’s commitment to quality and
integrity, with every team member invested in the delivery
of exceptional products.This employee-led model also
dovetails with the company’s sustainability ethos.
Certified by both Planet Mark and B Corp, The Rooflight
Co operates with an acute awareness of its environmental
responsibilities. By keeping design and manufacture on a
single site, the company reduces its carbon footprint,
maintains rigorous quality control, and ensures a seamless
dialogue between the design, engineering and fabrication
teams.
Whilst the engineering precision from The Rooflight Co
is a key part of the story, there is another narrative.
One that speaks of reverence - for craftsmanship, for
architectural integrity, and for the light that brings spaces
to life.
