What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Sutton in Ashfield involve?
Thinking about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Sutton in Ashfield? The short answer: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
We work across Nottinghamshire, including Sutton in Ashfield, and in neighbouring towns such as Kirkby in Ashfield and Mansfield. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Before you order: points to check

Planning and building rules for Sutton in Ashfield
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.

Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Sutton in Ashfield: questions
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.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Can you work alongside my builder in Sutton in Ashfield?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Sutton in Ashfield?
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.
