How we approach frameless structural rooflights in Yeadon
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Yeadon covers minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. In Yeadon, as anywhere, frameless structural rooflights are the usual choice for architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Yeadon is around 12 km from Leeds, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Yorkshire, including the LS19 district.
Options we can specify in Yeadon
- Low-iron extra-clear glass
- Butt-jointed runs for long openings
- Triple glazing
- Solar-control coatings
- Heated glass on some ranges
- Long, slim or very large formats
- Double or triple glazed structural units
Before you order: points to check
- Tolerances are tight — the opening must be built square and to size
- The internal finish (plaster, shadow gap) is agreed before order
Planning and building rules for Yeadon
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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.
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.
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 Yeadon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Yeadon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
