Pitched roof windows in Kingston upon Thames: what is involved?
We handle pitched roof windows across Greater London, including Kingston upon Thames. 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 pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Kingston upon Thames sits about 3 km from Twickenham and 3 km from Richmond, and we cover the whole KT1 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Double or triple glazing
- Combination and stacked windows
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Blinds and electric opening available
- Flashings to suit tiles or slates
What to check first
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
Planning, building control and Kingston upon Thames
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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Pitched roof windows in Kingston upon Thames: questions
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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 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 Kingston upon Thames?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Kingston upon Thames free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
