What do pitched roof windows in Burgess Hill involve?
For Burgess Hill homes and buildings we offer pitched roof windows: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Burgess Hill is around 18 km from Crawley, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Sussex, including the RH15 district.
Specification options
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Double or triple glazing
- Fits between rafters in most roofs
- Blinds and electric opening available
Things we check at survey
- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
- Escape-window rules can apply to loft rooms
Do you need permission in Burgess Hill?
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.
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. 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 Burgess Hill
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.
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 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.
Is the survey in Burgess Hill free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Burgess Hill?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
