Pitched roof window installation in Burgess Hill

Cut the opening. Trim the joists or rafters. Build the upstand or fit the flashing kit. Fix the unit, seal it, finish the inside. On a new opening, that is the whole job in plain terms, and each step has to be right for the next one to work. We carry out this work in Burgess Hill and across West Sussex, either installing a unit you have bought or sourcing one for you. You get a written quote with the scope set out, and a written workmanship guarantee on the fitting with its terms on that quote.

Fitting across Burgess Hill and nearby

Looking at a property near Burgess Hill but not quite in it? We work across RH15, BN6 and RH16 and outwards to Haywards Heath, Lewes and Portslade. Give us the full postcode when you get in touch, because access, parking and the route for a large unit all depend on the exact street. Those details shape the quote for any job around Burgess Hill.

What we check on a supplied unit

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a pitched roof window that suits your roof and install it, so one company answers for both the product choice and the fitting. Fit-only means you buy the unit and we install it. With fit-only, the product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our written guarantee covers the fitting work. Both routes get the same checks on the opening, the upstand and the maker's instructions before anything is fixed.

Included in the work

  • Flashing kit matched to tiles, slates or a recessed fit
  • Rafters trimmed where the window is wider than the gap between them
  • Inside lining fitted and left ready for decoration
  • Scaffold or not — We look at the roof height and the window position to see whether scaffolding is needed.
  • Head height and view — We think about how the window will be used from inside before fixing its height.

From arrival to clean-up

Where a job takes one day, the split is usually structural work first and finishing second. Early on, the fitters cut or prepare the opening, trim where needed and prepare the upstand or flashing. Then a pitched roof window is lifted in, fixed and made weathertight so the roof is sound before anyone moves inside. Plasterboard, trim and filler for the reveal come after. Each evening the work area is swept, and at the end the glass is cleaned and the team talks you through what was done.

Planning, building control and Burgess Hill

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.

Getting a price from photos

For fit-only work, the product details matter most: the link, the spec sheet, or a photo of the label on the box. Alongside that, send pictures of the roof and the ceiling below, approximate opening sizes, the type of roof covering, and how someone would get onto the roof. For supply and fit, the same photos and sizes do the job. Finish with your postcode, such as RH15.

Common questions in Burgess Hill

What if my roof opening is the wrong size for the pitched roof window?

We find out before the fitting day, not on it. If the opening is slightly out, it can usually be adjusted by trimming or by packing out the upstand. If it is a long way off, the choice is between altering the opening and changing the unit. Bear in mind that rooflights are often sold by builder's opening size rather than external size, so check which one your measurement refers to.

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.

Do you offer trade rates for builders and roofers?

We carry out subcontract fitting for builders, roofers, extension companies and commercial contractors. Pricing is per job or per schedule of units, agreed in writing before we start. We can work to your programme, fit on your upstand or build our own, and leave the opening ready for the next trade. Send drawings or a unit schedule and we will come back with a trade quote.
