Pitched roof windows for Staines: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Staines means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the TW18 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Jobs in Staines are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Staines
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. 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.
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.

Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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.
