How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in New Milton
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across Hampshire, including New Milton. 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Christchurch (8 km) and Bournemouth (16 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and New Milton
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about ridge & pitched glass roofs in New Milton
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.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
How do I book a survey in New Milton?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in New Milton?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
