Why am I being charged for Sky HD when UHD is free with Sky Q?

The UHD add on is not usually free although it may be as part of a deal - why do you think it is ?

BTW UHD add on is in addition to HD not instead of

UHD is typically not free.  The default box is capable of UHD output, but this is almost always only available as a resolution to subscribers who are paying extra: the current new customer offer price on Sky Q is HD for £9 with UHD on top of that for an additional £4

Edit: when Multiscreen is added, HD goes up to £13 but UHD on top of HD reduces to £0 additional cost.

I have to say I'm struggling to see how this translates as 'great savings' ; )

I needed to lie down in a darkened room after I finally worked out how much I was saving by adding Multiscreen then UHD+HD then selecting HD which removes the added UHD+HD to get HD for £9.00

Dark room is calling again saved £4.00

I'm not a new customer though 😉

This is such a rip off, I'm paying £9pm for hd, £2pm for sky sports hd (& that's with a £4pm discount) & then another £4pm for uhd! That's a quarter of my whole bill, I think after 10 years with sky it's about time I left
