How we approach glass links & glass box roofs in Warwick
Glass links & glass box roofs in Warwick means frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We cover the CV34 district and the rest of Warwickshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Typical uses for glass links & glass box roofs include joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
We work across Warwickshire, including Warwick, and in neighbouring towns such as Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for glass links & glass box roofs in Warwick
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. 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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common 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.
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.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
Is the survey in Warwick 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 Warwick?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
