Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Reigate: what will it cost?
Our guide range for laminated roof and conservatory glass in Reigate 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.
Specification at a glance
- Safe access with towers or scaffolding where needed
- Shaped units for hipped lanterns
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints
- Laminated inner pane for overhead safety
Fitting in Reigate and nearby
Whether you are in central Reigate or at the edge of the RH2 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Redhill and Horley are covered too.
Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.
Typical settings for laminated roof and conservatory glass:
- Roof lanterns over kitchens and extensions
- Single-storey extensions reached from walls or fences
- Flat rooflights over stairs and landings
- Orangery roofs with lantern centres
Getting the right glass for your building
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.
Solar control
Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.
What the rules say in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
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 Reigate: questions
Do you cover Redhill as well as Reigate?
Yes. As well as Reigate, we can arrange surveys in nearby Redhill, Horley and Banstead. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
