Glass links & glass box roofs for Wisbech: the essentials
For Wisbech homes and buildings we offer glass links & glass box roofs: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
In the East of England, bungalows and chalet bungalows with large flat-roofed extensions are common, and they often suit a long run of rooflights. Typical uses for glass links & glass box roofs include joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Wisbech sits about 14 km from March and 19 km from King's Lynn, and we cover the whole PE13 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Wisbech
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. 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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Wisbech
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
Do glass links need planning permission?
Often, yes — and listed building consent if either building is listed. We can provide drawings and product data for your application.
How is the glass joined to the old wall?
Usually by a slim channel or flashing set into the masonry, sealed and weathered so the old wall can move without cracking the glass seal.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wisbech?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Wisbech free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
