Frameless structural rooflights in Bedworth: what is involved?
For Bedworth 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
We work across Warwickshire, including Bedworth, and in neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton and Coventry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Bedworth
- Triple glazing
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Solar-control coatings
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Nothing but glass visible from inside
- Double or triple glazed structural units
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
Planning, building control and Bedworth
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
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. 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.

Questions about frameless structural rooflights in Bedworth
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.
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.
Is the survey in Bedworth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
