Glass links & glass box roofs in Salisbury: what is involved?
Thinking about glass links & glass box roofs in Salisbury? 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.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Typical uses for glass links & glass box roofs include listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.

Planning and building rules for Salisbury
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. 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.

Common questions
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.
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
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.
Is the survey in Salisbury 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 Salisbury?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
