How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Banbury
Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Banbury means dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We cover the OX16 district and the rest of Oxfordshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Banbury, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for side returns, links and long extensions.
Neighbouring towns include Bicester (22 km) and Daventry (25 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Banbury
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
