Pitched roof window installation in West Ealing

If the pitched roof window on your roof now is misted, discoloured, cracked or letting water in, replacing it is often simpler than people expect. The old unit comes out, we inspect the kerb or frame underneath, and we decide with you whether it can be reused or needs rebuilding. Then the new one goes in, sealed to the roof covering and finished inside. We handle this kind of pitched roof window installation in West Ealing and nearby, alongside new openings and fit-only work. Postcode W13 and its neighbours are all within our cover.

Covering W13 and neighbouring districts

Jobs across W13, W7 and W5 are part of our normal cover for West Ealing. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Ealing and Greenford are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Already bought your unit?

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a pitched roof window, photograph it, and tell the seller about any cracks or scuffs, because claims are much easier made early. We will also ask for the model or a link, so we can read the maker's instructions and check the opening size and the flashing kit it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

Included in the work

  • Insulation collar and vapour layer fitted to stop a cold edge
  • Tiles or slates cut and refitted neatly around the flashing
  • Rafters trimmed where the window is wider than the gap between them
  • Energy limit for roof windows — We check the window's published figures against the energy limit for existing homes.
  • Scaffold or not — We look at the roof height and the window position to see whether scaffolding is needed.

A typical installation day

Morning first: the team arrives, introduces itself and walks through the job with you. Dust sheets go down in the room below and along the route in. Then the opening and upstand, or the flashing on a pitched roof, are checked against the unit's measurements. A pitched roof window goes in, is fixed to the maker's pattern and sealed into the roof covering. Inside, the reveal is finished as quoted. Before leaving, the team clears debris and talks you through what was done. Most jobs of this type take one day.

Do you need permission in West Ealing?

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.

Help us quote accurately

What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around W13 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.

Common questions in West Ealing

How long does fitting take?

Fitting a pitched roof window into an existing, correctly sized opening is often a day's work. New openings take longer, because joists or rafters need trimming, an upstand or flashing has to be built or fitted, and the inside needs finishing. Large units that need lifting gear, and days lost to rain, can stretch things further. Your written quote gives a realistic estimate for your roof.

Can you remove and dispose of the old rooflight?

Yes. Taking out the old unit is part of any replacement job, and it leaves with the rest of the waste unless you ask to keep it. Old domes, glass and frames go through proper waste routes. If removal turns up a rotten kerb or damaged decking, we show you what we have found and agree the repair with you before going any further.

How does payment work?

Payment terms are set out on your written quote before you accept it. Depending on the job, that may mean a deposit, stage payments for larger work, or payment on completion. The contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group. Nothing is added without your agreement: if something unexpected comes up, we discuss it and agree any change before carrying on.
