What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Witney involve?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Witney 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We work across Oxfordshire, including Witney, and in neighbouring towns such as Oxford and Abingdon. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours

What to check first

Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Witney
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. 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.
