Frameless structural rooflights for Hull: the essentials
For Hull 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.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Typical uses for frameless structural rooflights include architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Hull is the main town we list in the East Riding of Yorkshire; we also cover nearby Beverley and Hornsea.
What you can choose
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Triple glazing
- Solar-control and low-iron glass options
- Nothing but glass visible from inside
What to check first
- Large panes need lifting gear and access planning
- The internal finish (plaster, shadow gap) is agreed before order
Do you need permission in Hull?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Frameless structural rooflights in Hull: questions
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.
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.
Is the survey in Hull free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Hull?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
