Pitched roof windows in Winchester: what is involved?
For Winchester 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
We work across Hampshire, including Winchester, and in neighbouring towns such as Eastleigh and Southampton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Double or triple glazing
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Combination and stacked windows
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Flashings to suit tiles or slates
- Usually fitted in a day
Things we check at survey
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
Planning and building rules for Winchester
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 Winchester: questions
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
