Pitched roof windows for Crawley: the essentials
Pitched roof windows in Crawley means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the RH11 district and the rest of West Sussex, 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. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
We cover all of Crawley and the RH11 district, and nearby Horley and Horsham.

Planning, building control and Crawley
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Crawley
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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
How do I book a survey in Crawley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Crawley?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
