What do glass links & glass box roofs in Yateley involve?
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Yateley 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Yateley, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
We work across Hampshire, including Yateley, and in neighbouring towns such as Sandhurst and Crowthorne. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Yateley
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Yateley
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
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.
