Glass links & glass box roofs in Limavady: what is involved?
For Limavady 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.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Think of glass links & glass box roofs for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
From Limavady to Coleraine, Derry/Londonderry and Magherafelt, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Limavady?
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Glass links & glass box roofs in Limavady: questions
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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Limavady?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Limavady?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
