Frameless structural rooflights for Redhill: the essentials
For Redhill 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Typical uses for frameless structural rooflights include rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
We work across Surrey, including Redhill, and in neighbouring towns such as Reigate and Horley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Redhill project
- Solar-control coatings
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Triple glazing
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Can run along party walls and side returns
- Clean modern detail for architect-led schemes
Before you order: points to check
- Tolerances are tight — the opening must be built square and to size
- Structural glass specification comes from the manufacturer
Do you need permission in Redhill?
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
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.
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
