Pitched roof windows in Evesham: what is involved?
We handle pitched roof windows across Worcestershire, including Evesham. 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.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Think of pitched roof windows for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Evesham is around 21 km from Worcester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Worcestershire, including the WR11 district.

Consents for pitched roof windows in Evesham
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. 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.

Common 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.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Evesham?
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 Evesham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
