How we approach pitched roof windows in Stroud
We handle pitched roof windows across Gloucestershire, including Stroud. In short: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. In Stroud, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Jobs in Stroud are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Before you order: points to check
- Escape-window rules can apply to loft rooms
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
Do you need permission in Stroud?
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Stroud
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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Can a roof window be fitted from inside?
In most cases, yes — only the tiles around the opening are lifted, and much of the work is done from inside the loft.
Can you work alongside my builder in Stroud?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Stroud?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
