How we approach frameless structural rooflights in Stratford
We handle frameless structural rooflights across Greater London, including Stratford. In short: minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Think of frameless structural rooflights for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Neighbouring towns include Bow (1 km) and Hackney (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Before you order: points to check

Do you need permission in Stratford?
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. 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. 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.
