Glass links & glass box roofs for Stirling: the essentials
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Stirling 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.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Glass links & glass box roofs suit listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
We cover all of Stirling and the FK8 district, and nearby Bridge of Allan and Dunblane.

Do you need permission in Stirling?
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Glass links & glass box roofs in Stirling: questions
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.
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.
Is structural glass safe?
Structural glass is laminated so it stays in place if a ply breaks. The manufacturer designs it for the loads involved.
