Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Haywards Heath: what is involved?
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across West Sussex, including Haywards Heath. In short: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
Haywards Heath is around 14 km from Crawley, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Sussex, including the RH16 district.

Planning and building rules for Haywards Heath
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
