Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Wrexham: the essentials
For Wrexham homes and buildings we offer ridge & pitched glass roofs: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Wrexham is the main town we list in Clwyd; we also cover nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.
Options we can specify in Wrexham
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Opening vents and electric actuators
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Slim aluminium glazing bars
- Forms the roof as well as the window
Things we check at survey
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Wrexham
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
