Pitched roof windows for Hexham: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Hexham means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the NE46 district and the rest of Northumberland, with a survey before any price is fixed.
North East terraces and colliery-town housing often have rear offshoots where a rooflight brightens a narrow kitchen. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Hexham is around 42 km from Blyth, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Northumberland, including the NE46 district.

Do you need permission in Hexham?
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. 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. 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 Hexham
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 roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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.
Is the survey in Hexham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hexham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
