Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Havant: what is involved?
Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Havant means dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We cover the PO9 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include side returns, links and long extensions.
Jobs in Havant are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Specification options

Things we check at survey

Do you need permission in Havant?
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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
