Pitched roof windows for Llandrindod Wells: the essentials
We handle pitched roof windows across Powys, including Llandrindod Wells. 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Llandrindod Wells, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Llandrindod Wells sits about 31 km from Newtown and 33 km from Brecon, and we cover the whole LD1 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Llandrindod Wells?
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.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
