How we approach pitched roof windows in Fulham
Pitched roof windows in Fulham means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the SW6 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Chelsea (2 km) and Wandsworth (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

- Centre-pivot or top-hung

Do you need permission in Fulham?
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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.

Pitched roof windows in Fulham: 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.
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 Fulham?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line.
Is the survey in Fulham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
