What do glass links & glass box roofs in Bordon involve?
Glass links & glass box roofs in Bordon means frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We cover the GU35 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. In Bordon, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.

Consents for glass links & glass box roofs in Bordon
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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 Bordon
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 structural glass safe?
Structural glass is laminated so it stays in place if a ply breaks. The manufacturer designs it for the loads involved.
Is the survey in Bordon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Bordon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
