What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Leamington Spa involve?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Leamington Spa 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
Leamington Spa sits about 4 km from Warwick and 8 km from Kenilworth, and we cover the whole CV32 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Leamington Spa?
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. 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.
