What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Banstead involve?
For Banstead 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Neighbouring towns include Ewell (4 km) and Epsom (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Solar-control, self-cleaning or tinted glass
- Opening vents and electric actuators
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours

Things we check at survey
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
Planning, building control and Banstead
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Banstead
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.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Can it have opening vents?
Yes, top-hung vents with electric actuators are common, often with a rain sensor.
