How we approach pitched roof windows in Littlehampton
Pitched roof windows in Littlehampton means centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We cover the BN17 district and the rest of West Sussex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Littlehampton to Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for pitched roof windows in Littlehampton
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.

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.
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.

Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
