Clement Conservation Rooflights add the finishing touch to this 18th century building conversion

As an Architectural Designer, Pauline Sutton always specifies Clement Conservation Rooflights for projects where rooflights are required.

This country office in West Sussex is one of her latest developments. The brief was to convert a residential outbuilding to provide both a home-office and an art studio, all with minimal impact on the historic integrity of the C18th building.

After carefully repairing the oak timbers in the roof; new felt, battens, insulation and re-used handmade clay tiles were added. Two Clement 0 rooflights were then fitted and dressed with bespoke lead work. The spaces were completed with two new oak doors, the stripping back of some old brick-work, lime-mortar repairs and new electrics.

As the rooflights were slightly out of reach, brass pole winders were fitted and a winding crank is used to open and close the rooflights.

Pauline said: “Here at Pauline Sutton Design we are happy to regularly specify Clement Conservation Rooflights within our Material Schedules and Planning Applications. Listed Building Consent applications here in The South Downs National Park especially require the top quality and carefully considered design by Clement.”
