Pitched roof windows for Hampstead: the essentials
We handle pitched roof windows across Greater London, including Hampstead. 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.
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. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Neighbouring towns include Kilburn (1 km) and Highgate (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for pitched roof windows in Hampstead
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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
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.
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.
Is the survey in Hampstead free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do you fit pitched roof windows in Hampstead?
Yes. We survey and fit pitched roof windows in Hampstead and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
