It is the usual specification for roof lanterns, flat rooflights and glass conservatory roofs.

Fitting in Dunstable and nearby
Surveys in Dunstable (LU6) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Luton (5 miles), Leighton Buzzard (6 miles) and Harpenden (9 miles).
Bedford's Victorian terraces and Luton's long shopping streets sit alongside 1960s to 1990s estates and newer uPVC-glazed developments around Leighton Buzzard and the M1 corridor.
This glazing suits:
- Roof lanterns over kitchens and extensions
- Flat rooflights over stairs and landings
- Glass conservatory roofs
- Single-storey extensions reached from walls or fences
Questions we will ask at the survey
Access
Most lanterns can be reached from a tower or ladder system. High or steep roofs may need scaffolding, which is itemised in your written quote.
Repair or replace the roof
If the roof frame is failing or leaking at the bars, we will say so rather than putting new glass into it.
Building regulations and safety in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Dunstable: questions
Can you survey in Dunstable and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dunstable, Luton and Leighton Buzzard are booked around installer availability.
Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
Can you replace one pane in my roof lantern?
Yes. Each pane is a separate unit, so we can replace one damaged or misted unit and match the rest.
Why should roof glass be laminated?
So that if it breaks, the pieces stay in place overhead instead of falling into the room. A laminated inner pane is the usual specification for overhead glazing.
