Pitched roof windows for Kingswood: the essentials
Our pitched roof windows service in Kingswood 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.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Kingswood is around 49 km from Gloucester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Gloucestershire, including the BS15 district.

Do you need permission in Kingswood?
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common 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 roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Kingswood?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
