What do pitched roof windows in Felling involve?
Pitched roof windows in Felling means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the NE10 district and the rest of Tyne and Wear, with a survey before any price is fixed.
North East terraces and colliery-town housing often have rear offshoots where a rooflight brightens a narrow kitchen. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
We work across Tyne and Wear, including Felling, and in neighbouring towns such as Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Felling
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. 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.
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.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Felling
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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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 you work alongside my builder in Felling?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Felling?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
