Pitched roof windows for Winsford: the essentials
Our pitched roof windows service in Winsford 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. In Winsford, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Winsford to Northwich, Crewe and Congleton, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Winsford?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Pitched roof windows in Winsford: questions
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Centre-pivot or top-hung?
Centre-pivot windows are easy to clean and suit most rooms. Top-hung windows open out from the top for an unobstructed view and suit lower roof pitches near eye level.
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 Winsford free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Winsford?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
