loft MOE window

[magico]

hi need some advice thanks
is there any minimum distance a roof window can be from the eaves? i was told off my building inspector that i could put another window in aslong as cill was no lower than 2`(600mm) from floor,but he never mentioned the distance to the eaves outside

I don't know if the rules is still the same, it was max 1.7m from the gutter level, your BCO will give you the correct details over the phone.

Just measured mine and I think it was 600mm minimum from the bottom of the velux cill to the floor level.


Just found it,

Height of window bottom edge from floor (to prevent falling but allow climbing out - 1100mm maximum, 900mm minimum (Dormers)), 600mm minimum (skylights).
Distance to roof edge - for rescue by ladder - 1700 mm maximum.

so going off that masona,the distance between cill and gutter is variable so aslong as it`s more than 600mm from floor its ok.
thanks to everyone,reliable as ever
cheers

Yes that's right between 600mm - 1100mm from the floor level the way I'm reading it
