Pitched roof windows for Haddington: the essentials
For Haddington homes and buildings we offer pitched roof windows: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include North Berwick (12 km) and Musselburgh (17 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Haddington?
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common 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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Haddington?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Haddington free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
