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

As a guide, allow £234 to £774 including VAT (£195 to £645 plus VAT) per pane for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Eastleigh, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

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

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 Eastleigh: questions

Which areas near Eastleigh do you cover?

We can arrange work in Eastleigh and in nearby Southampton (5 miles), Winchester (7 miles) and Totton (7 miles). 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 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 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.
