Pitched roof windows for Bridgend: the essentials
We handle pitched roof windows across Mid Glamorgan, including Bridgend. In short: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Bridgend sits about 9 km from Porthcawl and 11 km from Cowbridge, and we cover the whole CF31 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Double or triple glazing
- Combination and stacked windows
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Blinds and electric opening available
- Fits between rafters in most roofs
Things we check at survey
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
Planning, building control and Bridgend
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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.
