Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Telford: the essentials
Thinking about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Telford? 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.
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. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
We cover all of Telford and the TF3 district, and nearby Wellington and Bridgnorth.

- Opening vents and electric actuators

Things we check at survey

Planning and building rules for Telford
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
