What do pitched roof windows in Faversham involve?
For Faversham 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.
Faversham is around 26 km from Maidstone, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Kent, including the ME13 district.
Specification options
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Double or triple glazing
- Usually fitted in a day
- Centre-pivot opening for easy cleaning from inside
What to check first
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
Do you need permission in Faversham?
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Pitched roof windows in Faversham: 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 roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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 to be at home for the survey in Faversham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Faversham?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof.
