Glass links & glass box roofs for Bognor Regis: the essentials
Thinking about glass links & glass box roofs in Bognor Regis? The short answer: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Glass links & glass box roofs suit listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
From Bognor Regis to Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Bognor Regis
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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
