Thinking about glass links & glass box roofs in Goole? The short answer: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.

Planning, building control and Goole
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.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Goole
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.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
Is the survey in Goole free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Goole?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
