Pitched roof windows for Reigate: the essentials
We handle pitched roof windows across Surrey, including Reigate. 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
We work across Surrey, including Reigate, and in neighbouring towns such as Redhill and Horley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Reigate
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Reigate
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.
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 Reigate free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Reigate?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
