Pitched roof windows for Market Drayton: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Market Drayton means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the TF9 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Pitched roof windows suit lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Market Drayton to Whitchurch, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Crewe, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Double or triple glazing
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting

Before you order: points to check

Do you need permission in Market Drayton?
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. 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.
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.

Common questions
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.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Market Drayton?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Market Drayton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
