How we approach pitched roof windows in Wick
Pitched roof windows in Wick: by arrangement. In short, centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
We cover Wick by arrangement: travel, ferries and weather affect what is practical, so we confirm what we can offer before quoting.

Do you need permission in Wick?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Wick
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.
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.
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.
