Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Mitcham: what will it cost?
Our guide range for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Mitcham 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.

- Laminated inner pane for overhead safety

Getting the right glass for your building
Self-cleaning outer pane
A self-cleaning coating cuts how often the roof needs washing, which helps where access is awkward.
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
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 Mitcham: questions
Which areas near Mitcham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Mitcham and in nearby Morden (1 mile), Wimbledon (2 miles) and Streatham (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
