Frameless structural rooflights in Llandrindod Wells: what is involved?
Frameless structural rooflights in Llandrindod Wells means minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. We cover the LD1 district and the rest of Powys, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
We work across Powys, including Llandrindod Wells, and in neighbouring towns such as Newtown and Brecon. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Llandrindod Wells
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
