Pitched roof windows in Hazel Grove: what is involved?
For Hazel Grove homes and buildings we offer pitched roof windows: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Hazel Grove sits about 4 km from Stockport and 5 km from Cheadle Hulme, and we cover the whole SK7 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Hazel Grove
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. 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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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.
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.
