Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Uppingham: the essentials
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Uppingham 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 Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include side returns, links and long extensions.
Uppingham is around 9 km from Oakham, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Rutland, including the LE15 district.

Planning, building control and Uppingham
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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.
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.
