Pitched roof windows for Risca: the essentials
For Risca 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Risca to Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran and Caerphilly, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Combination and stacked windows
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Double or triple glazing
- Centre-pivot opening for easy cleaning from inside
- Usually fitted in a day
Before you order: points to check
- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
Consents for pitched roof windows in Risca
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Pitched roof windows in Risca: questions
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 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 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.
