What is the price of laminated roof and conservatory glass in Macclesfield?
Our guide range for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Macclesfield 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.
What you can specify
- Laminated inner pane for overhead safety
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- Matching existing tints where possible
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units
- Shaped units for hipped lanterns

- Single-storey extensions reached from walls or fences
- Roof lanterns over kitchens and extensions
- Orangery roofs with lantern centres
- Glass conservatory roofs
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Building regulations and safety in 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.
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 Macclesfield: questions
Do you cover Wilmslow as well as Macclesfield?
Yes. As well as Macclesfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wilmslow, Congleton and Cheadle Hulme. Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
