What do pitched roof windows in Ludlow involve?
We handle pitched roof windows across Shropshire, including Ludlow. 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
We work across Shropshire, including Ludlow, and in neighbouring towns such as Loughton and Leominster. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Ludlow
- Combination and stacked windows
- Double or triple glazing
- Centre-pivot or top-hung

Before you order: points to check

Consents for pitched roof windows in Ludlow
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Pitched roof windows in Ludlow: questions
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 roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Centre-pivot or top-hung?
Centre-pivot windows are easy to clean and suit most rooms. Top-hung windows open out from the top for an unobstructed view and suit lower roof pitches near eye level.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Ludlow free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
