Frameless structural rooflights for Woking: the essentials
For Woking 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Frameless structural rooflights suit rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
We cover all of Woking and the GU22 district, and nearby Guildford and Egham.
Options we can specify in Woking
- Triple glazing
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Can run along party walls and side returns
- Double or triple glazed structural units
What to check first
- Tolerances are tight — the opening must be built square and to size
- Large panes need lifting gear and access planning
Planning and building rules for Woking
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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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.
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.
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.
