What do frameless structural rooflights in Morecambe involve?
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Morecambe 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. In Morecambe, as anywhere, frameless structural rooflights are the usual choice for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.

Planning, building control and Morecambe
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. 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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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.
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Morecambe?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit frameless structural rooflights in Morecambe?
