Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Pembroke Dock: what is involved?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Pembroke Dock covers dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. In Pembroke Dock, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for side returns, links and long extensions.
Jobs in Pembroke Dock are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Opening vents and electric actuators
- Maximum daylight for side returns
- Works with exposed brick and period detail
What to check first
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
Planning and building rules for Pembroke Dock
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Pembroke Dock: questions
Do I need a party wall agreement?
If the work affects a party wall or boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply in England and Wales. We flag this at survey so you can serve notice in time.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.

Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
