Pitched roof windows for Wimbledon: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Wimbledon means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the SW19 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. In Wimbledon, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Morden (3 km) and Mitcham (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Wimbledon?
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.

Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
