How much does laminated roof and conservatory glass cost in Cheshire?

Our guide range for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Cheshire 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.

Things to decide before you order

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.

Solar control

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

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Cheshire: questions

Which towns in Cheshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester, Crewe, Ellesmere Port and Widnes, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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 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.
