Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Hayes: what is involved?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Hayes 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.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for side returns, links and long extensions.
Hayes is around 21 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the UB3 district.

Planning, building control and Hayes
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common 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.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hayes?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
