Frameless structural rooflights for Egham: the essentials
Frameless structural rooflights in Egham means minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. We cover the TW20 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Typical uses for frameless structural rooflights include architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Egham sits about 3 km from Staines and 7 km from Ashford, Surrey, and we cover the whole TW20 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Egham
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.

Yes. We survey and fit frameless structural rooflights in Egham and across Surrey. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
