Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Wellington: the essentials
For Wellington homes and buildings we offer ridge & pitched glass roofs: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Wellington sits about 5 km from Telford and 16 km from Shrewsbury, and we cover the whole TF1 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Wellington
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Solar-control, self-cleaning or tinted glass
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Slim aluminium glazing bars
- Works with exposed brick and period detail
Before you order: points to check
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Wellington
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. 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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
How long does a ridge roof take to fit?
Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
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.
How do I book a survey in Wellington?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wellington?
