Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Sunbury-on-Thames: what is involved?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Sunbury-on-Thames covers dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
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.
Sunbury-on-Thames sits about 2 km from Walton-on-Thames and 4 km from Hampton, and we cover the whole TW16 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Opening vents and electric actuators
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours

- Slim aluminium glazing bars
Before you order: points to check
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
Planning and building rules for Sunbury-on-Thames
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
