Pitched roof windows for Wrexham: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Wrexham means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the LL13 district and the rest of Clwyd, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
We cover all of Wrexham and the LL13 district, and nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.

Consents for pitched roof windows in Wrexham
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Wrexham
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.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Wrexham?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed.
Is the survey in Wrexham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
