Pitched roof windows in Wokingham: what is involved?
Our pitched roof windows service in Wokingham covers centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Wokingham sits about 5 km from Crowthorne and 6 km from Bracknell, and we cover the whole RG40 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Double or triple glazing
- Combination and stacked windows
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Fits between rafters in most roofs
- Flashings to suit tiles or slates
Things we check at survey
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
Do you need permission in Wokingham?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Pitched roof windows in Wokingham: questions
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
Will it need building regulations approval?
Fitting a new roof window usually involves cutting rafters and changing the thermal envelope, so building control approval (or, in England and Wales, a competent-person route) is normally needed. We tell you which applies.
Can you replace an old roof window?
Yes — replacement into the same opening is usually quicker than a new install, often a few hours per window.
Is the survey in Wokingham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wokingham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
