Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Bexhill-on-Sea: the essentials
For Bexhill-on-Sea 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Bexhill-on-Sea, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Neighbouring towns include Hastings (8 km) and Hailsham (15 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Bexhill-on-Sea
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
