What do glass links & glass box roofs in Jedburgh involve?
We handle glass links & glass box roofs across the Scottish Borders, including Jedburgh. In short: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Glass links & glass box roofs suit joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Neighbouring towns include Kelso (15 km) and Hawick (16 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Jedburgh
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Glass links & glass box roofs in Jedburgh: questions
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Jedburgh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Jedburgh free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
