Pitched roof windows in Pwllheli: what is involved?
Pitched roof windows in Pwllheli means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the LL53 district and the rest of Gwynedd, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
We work across Gwynedd, including Pwllheli, and in neighbouring towns such as Porthmadog and Caernarfon. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Pwllheli

- Integral blinds and shutters

What to check first

Planning, building control and Pwllheli
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.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Pwllheli
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.
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 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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Pwllheli?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Pwllheli free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
