Frameless structural rooflights for Slough: the essentials
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Slough covers minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
From Slough to Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for frameless structural rooflights in Slough
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
