What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Horley involve?
Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Horley means dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We cover the RH6 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We work across Surrey, including Horley, and in neighbouring towns such as Crawley and Redhill. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Opening vents and electric actuators
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Solar-control, self-cleaning or tinted glass
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Works with exposed brick and period detail
- Opening vents available
Things we check at survey
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
Do you need permission in Horley?
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.
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.

Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Horley: questions
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 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.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
