Glass links & glass box roofs in Bridgnorth: what is involved?
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Bridgnorth 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Glass links & glass box roofs suit joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Jobs in Bridgnorth are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules for Bridgnorth
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. 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.
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.

Common questions
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
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.
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
Is the survey in Bridgnorth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bridgnorth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
