Pitched roof windows for Banbury: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Banbury means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the OX16 district and the rest of Oxfordshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Banbury sits about 22 km from Bicester and 25 km from Daventry, and we cover the whole OX16 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Banbury
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.
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.

Common questions
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
Can you work alongside my builder in Banbury?
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 Banbury?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
