Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Kingswinford: the essentials
For Kingswinford 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.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. In Kingswinford, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We work across the West Midlands, including Kingswinford, and in neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill and Stourbridge. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Kingswinford
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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.
How do I book a survey in Kingswinford?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Kingswinford?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
