How we approach pitched roof windows in Dudley
We handle pitched roof windows across the West Midlands, including Dudley. 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
Dudley is around 13 km from Birmingham, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the West Midlands, including the DY1 district.
What you can choose
- Combination and stacked windows
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Double or triple glazing
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Fits between rafters in most roofs
- Daylight and ventilation in a pitched roof
Before you order: points to check
- Escape-window rules can apply to loft rooms
- Front-facing roof windows can need permission in conservation areas
Planning, building control and Dudley
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. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Pitched roof windows in Dudley: questions
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.
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.
How do I book a survey in Dudley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Dudley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
