Things to decide before you order

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.

Self-cleaning outer pane

A self-cleaning coating cuts how often the roof needs washing, which helps where access is awkward.

Rules that apply 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.

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 Wellingborough: questions

Which areas near Wellingborough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Wellingborough and in nearby Rushden (4 miles), Kettering (7 miles) and Northampton (9 miles). 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 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.

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.
