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
- Matching existing tints where possible
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Safe access with towers or scaffolding where needed
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units

Merseyside has Liverpool's listed commercial centre and waterfront offices, Victorian terraces across the city and the Wirral, and suburban high streets in Southport and St Helens.
Good candidates for laminated roof and conservatory glass:
- Orangery roofs with lantern centres
- Glass conservatory roofs
- Flat rooflights over stairs and landings
- Single-storey extensions reached from walls or fences
Before the glass is ordered
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.
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.
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 Kirkby: questions
Do you cover Maghull as well as Kirkby?
Yes. As well as Kirkby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Maghull, Litherland and Prescot. Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
