Pitched roof windows for Havant: the essentials
For Havant 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Havant is around 30 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the PO9 district.
What you can choose
- Combination and stacked windows
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Centre-pivot opening for easy cleaning from inside
- Usually fitted in a day
What to check first
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
Planning and building rules for Havant
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Pitched roof windows in Havant: 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 roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
How do I book a survey in Havant?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Havant free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
