What do frameless structural rooflights in Wrexham involve?
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Wrexham 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. In Wrexham, as anywhere, frameless structural rooflights are the usual choice for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
We cover all of Wrexham and the LL13 district, and nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.
Specification options
- Solar-control coatings
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Double or triple glazed structural units
- Nothing but glass visible from inside
Things we check at survey
- Tolerances are tight — the opening must be built square and to size
- Structural glass specification comes from the manufacturer
Consents for frameless structural rooflights in Wrexham
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Questions about frameless structural rooflights in Wrexham
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
Is frameless glass as strong as a framed rooflight?
Yes — it is structural glass designed for the job. The support is hidden rather than missing.
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.
Do you fit frameless structural rooflights in Wrexham?
Yes. We survey and fit frameless structural rooflights in Wrexham and across Clwyd. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wrexham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
