What do glass links & glass box roofs in Tottenham involve?
Thinking about glass links & glass box roofs in Tottenham? 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.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. In Tottenham, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
Tottenham sits about 3 km from Edmonton and 3 km from Wood Green, and we cover the whole N17 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Tottenham?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
