How we approach glass links & glass box roofs in Pembroke Dock
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Pembroke Dock covers frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Glass links & glass box roofs suit joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Pembroke Dock is around 54 km from Llanelli, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dyfed, including the SA72 district.

Planning, building control and Pembroke Dock
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. 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.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. 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.

Common questions
Can a glass link be warm enough to use all year?
With insulated glass units, solar control and good detailing, yes — though it will always be brighter and more exposed to temperature swings than a solid room.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
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.
