From tyhe CAA website:
If you have an EASA pilots licence, you can extend the privileges of your licence by adding a night rating.
This allows you to fly in Visual Flying Rules (VFR) conditions at night, provided that this rating remains valid and you have met the flying recency requirements detailed in FCL.060.
Please note that If you are the holder of an existing UK issued JAR Flight Crew licence which has not already been converted to a Part-FCL licence, then the conversion process will take place when you apply for a night rating. This will require you to send us additional information.
Please see our information about licence conversions for more details.
