Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Esher: the essentials
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across Surrey, including Esher. In short: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
Esher sits about 4 km from Walton-on-Thames and 5 km from Hampton, and we cover the whole KT10 postcode district and the roads in between.

Before you order: points to check
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
Do you need permission in Esher?
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.

Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
Can it have opening vents?
Yes, top-hung vents with electric actuators are common, often with a rain sensor.
Can you work alongside my builder in Esher?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Esher?
