Frameless structural rooflights for New Milton: the essentials
Our frameless structural rooflights service in New Milton 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. Typical uses for frameless structural rooflights include architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Neighbouring towns include Christchurch (8 km) and Bournemouth (16 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for New Milton
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
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.
How do I book a survey in New Milton?
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 New Milton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
