Do you need permission in Wellingborough?
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.
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. 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.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Wellingborough
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
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.
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.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Wellingborough free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
