Pitched roof windows for Pontypool: the essentials
Our pitched roof windows service in Pontypool covers centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
From Pontypool to Cwmbran, Risca and Newport, Gwent, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Pontypool?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Pontypool
Centre-pivot or top-hung?
Centre-pivot windows are easy to clean and suit most rooms. Top-hung windows open out from the top for an unobstructed view and suit lower roof pitches near eye level.
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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Is the survey in Pontypool free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Pontypool?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
