Glass links & glass box roofs in Rhosllannerchrugog: what is involved?
For Rhosllannerchrugog 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Typical uses for glass links & glass box roofs include listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
From Rhosllannerchrugog to Wrexham, Buckley and Hawarden, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Rhosllannerchrugog
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Rhosllannerchrugog
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 long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
Will I need planning permission in Rhosllannerchrugog?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites.
