Pitched roof windows in Stockport: what is involved?
Thinking about pitched roof windows in Stockport? The short answer: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. In Stockport, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Jobs in Stockport are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Stockport
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.

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.

In most cases, yes — only the tiles around the opening are lifted, and much of the work is done from inside the loft.

Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
