Pitched roof windows for Hebburn: the essentials
Our pitched roof windows service in Hebburn covers centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
We work across Tyne and Wear, including Hebburn, and in neighbouring towns such as Jarrow and Wallsend. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Hebburn?
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Common questions
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 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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Hebburn?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Hebburn?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
