Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Berkshire

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Berkshire: what will it cost?

Our guide range for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Berkshire is £234 to £774 including VAT (£195 to £645 plus VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

Laminated roof glass is overhead glazing with a laminated inner pane, so if the glass is broken by impact, a falling branch or an intruder, the pieces stay bonded in place rather than dropping into the room below. It is the usual specification for roof lanterns, flat rooflights and glass conservatory roofs.

Choices you can make

Replacement of misted or broken roof units
Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints
Matching existing tints where possible
Shaped units for hipped lanterns
Laminated inner pane for overhead safety
New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight

Getting the right glass for your building

Solar control

Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.

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.

What the rules say in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Berkshire: questions

Which towns in Berkshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham, and in other towns across the area.

Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?

Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.

Will laminated roof glass stop someone getting in?

It makes breaking through the roof slow and noisy, so the roof is a much harder way into a single-storey extension.

Can you change my conservatory roof from plastic to glass?

Replacing polycarbonate with glass adds a lot of weight and is a structural change, so it is not part of this service. We can advise once a structural plan is in place.
