Glass links & glass box roofs for Fulham: the essentials
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Fulham 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.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. In Fulham, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Jobs in Fulham are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

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.
Is structural glass safe?
