Glass links & glass box roofs for Epsom: the essentials
Glass links & glass box roofs in Epsom means frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We cover the KT17 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. In Epsom, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
Epsom is around 20 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the KT17 district.

Planning, building control and Epsom
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. 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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Epsom
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Epsom?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Epsom?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
