Pitched roof window installation in Greater London

Most people looking for pitched roof window installation in Greater London want three answers: can you do it, what will it cost, and when. Yes, anywhere in Greater London. Cost starts from a guide of £845 and is fixed in a written quote once we know the roof. Timing depends on fitter availability and the weather, so you get offered dates rather than promises. Fit-only jobs, where you already own a pitched roof window, are usually priced from photos.

Towns we list in Greater London

From the larger towns to the smaller places in between, we take on rooflight fitting across Greater London. The process is the same for a terrace, a farmhouse extension or an industrial unit: details first, written quote second, fitting day third. Remote and island addresses in England, where they arise, are covered by arrangement, and we tell you that before quoting.

What the job includes

  • Flashing kit matched to tiles, slates or a recessed fit
  • Underlay collar or membrane dressed and taped around the frame
  • Inside lining fitted and left ready for decoration
  • Side slopes and neighbours — We check which slope the window is going on before you commit.
  • Energy limit for roof windows — We check the window's published figures against the energy limit for existing homes.

Rules that apply in England

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

Common questions in Greater London

Can you fit the pitched roof window I bought online?

Yes, fit-only is one of our core services. Send the product link or spec, photos of the roof and rough sizes, and we can usually price it from those. Before fitting we check the delivery for damage, which should be reported to the seller, plus the size against the opening, the flashing kit and the roof pitch. The product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our guarantee covers the fitting.

Can you fit a rooflight in winter or when it is raining?

Yes, within limits. Cold is less of a problem than wet, because membranes, primers and sealants need a dry surface to bond. We plan fitting days around the forecast and may move a date if heavy rain is due. If the roof has to be opened up, it is not left overnight without a temporary weather seal, so the room below stays dry while the work is finished.

Do you cover Greater London?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Greater London and the surrounding districts, including BR, CR, DA, E, EC, EN, HA, IG, KT, N, NW, RM, SE, SM, SW, TN, TW, UB, W and WC postcodes. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.
