How we approach pitched roof windows in Enfield
Our pitched roof windows service in Enfield 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.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Neighbouring towns include Edmonton (3 km) and Tottenham (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Enfield
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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Common questions
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.
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 Enfield?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
