Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Llandrindod Wells: what is involved?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Llandrindod Wells 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.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for side returns, links and long extensions.
We work across Powys, including Llandrindod Wells, and in neighbouring towns such as Newtown and Brecon. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Llandrindod Wells
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Llandrindod Wells
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.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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.
Is the survey in Llandrindod Wells free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Llandrindod Wells?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed.
