Frameless structural rooflights in Wellington: what is involved?
For Wellington 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 Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
Wellington sits about 5 km from Telford and 16 km from Shrewsbury, and we cover the whole TF1 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Wellington project
- Triple glazing
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Solar-control coatings
- Nothing but glass visible from inside
- Long, slim or very large formats
Before you order: points to check
- Large panes need lifting gear and access planning
- Tolerances are tight — the opening must be built square and to size
Consents for frameless structural rooflights in Wellington
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about frameless structural rooflights in Wellington
Can it open?
Some frameless designs include a sliding or hinged opening element, but most are fixed. Pair with an opening unit if you need ventilation.
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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wellington?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
