Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Aldershot: the essentials
For Aldershot 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We work across Hampshire, including Aldershot, and in neighbouring towns such as Farnham and Farnborough. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Solar-control, self-cleaning or tinted glass
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Maximum daylight for side returns
- Slim aluminium glazing bars
Things we check at survey
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
Do you need permission in Aldershot?
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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 Aldershot
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.
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 the survey in Aldershot free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aldershot?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
