What do pitched roof windows in Market Harborough involve?
For Market Harborough 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Pitched roof windows suit pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Corby (16 km) and Kettering (16 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Market Harborough?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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. 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.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Market Harborough
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.
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.

Yes. We survey and fit pitched roof windows in Market Harborough and across Leicestershire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
