Glass links & glass box roofs for Eyemouth: the essentials
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Eyemouth 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.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Glass links & glass box roofs suit joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Neighbouring towns include Kelso (37 km) and Haddington (44 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for glass links & glass box roofs in Eyemouth
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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 long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Eyemouth?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas.
How do I book a survey in Eyemouth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
