Frameless structural rooflights for Milton Keynes: the essentials
For Milton Keynes homes and buildings we offer frameless structural rooflights: minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
We cover all of Milton Keynes and the MK9 district, and nearby Bletchley and Leighton Buzzard.
Options we can specify in Milton Keynes
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Triple glazing
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Solar-control coatings
- Double or triple glazed structural units
- Clean modern detail for architect-led schemes
Things we check at survey
- Large panes need lifting gear and access planning
- The internal finish (plaster, shadow gap) is agreed before order
Planning, building control and Milton Keynes
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
How is it lifted onto the roof?
Larger panes go up with a vacuum lifter, a hoist or a crane. We plan access at survey.
Will I see the edge of the glass?
From inside, the reveal is finished up to the glass so the edge is hidden. From outside you will see the glass and its edge seal.
How do I book a survey in Milton Keynes?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Milton Keynes free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
