What do glass links & glass box roofs in Batley involve?
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Batley 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.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. In Batley, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
Neighbouring towns include Dewsbury (1 km) and Ossett (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for glass links & glass box roofs in Batley
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about glass links & glass box roofs in Batley
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
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.
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.
