How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Fareham
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Fareham 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. In Fareham, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for side returns, links and long extensions.
Fareham is around 17 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the PO16 district.

Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Fareham
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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.

Common questions
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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.

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.
