What do pitched roof windows in Scarborough involve?
For Scarborough 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.
Converted barns and mills in Yorkshire often suit bespoke or ridge rooflights that follow the original structure. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Scarborough sits about 26 km from Bridlington and 44 km from Hornsea, and we cover the whole YO11 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Double or triple glazing
- Combination and stacked windows
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Fits between rafters in most roofs
- Usually fitted in a day
Before you order: points to check
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
- Insulation collars and vapour control must be detailed
Do you need permission in Scarborough?
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. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Scarborough
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Scarborough?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Scarborough?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
