Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Greenford: what is involved?
Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Greenford means dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We cover the UB6 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Neighbouring towns include Northolt (2 km) and Southall (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Greenford
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
How long does a ridge roof take to fit?
Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
Is a glass roof too hot for a kitchen?
Without care, it can be. Solar-control glass, an opening vent at the top and a blind make a south-facing glass roof comfortable.
How do I book a survey in Greenford?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Greenford?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
