How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Bedworth
For Bedworth 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include side returns, links and long extensions.
We work across Warwickshire, including Bedworth, and in neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton and Coventry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Bedworth
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. 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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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.
