What should laminated roof and conservatory glass cost in Christchurch?
Expect £234 to £774 including VAT (£195 to £645 plus VAT) per pane for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Christchurch. The written quote names the glass makeup, the price and the lead time before you commit.
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
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- Safe access with towers or scaffolding where needed
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units
- Matching existing tints where possible
- Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints

Before the glass is ordered
Solar control
Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.
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.
Glazing rules 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.
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 Christchurch: questions
Do you cover Bournemouth as well as Christchurch?
Yes. As well as Christchurch, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole. Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
