What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hampton involve?
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across Greater London, including Hampton. In short: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include side returns, links and long extensions.
Hampton is around 20 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the TW12 district.

Before you order: points to check
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
Planning and building rules for Hampton
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Questions about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hampton
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.
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.

Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
