Glass Roofs in Mid Glamorgan

A glass roof stays watertight through a fall that lets water run off, weather seals and structural silicone joints between panes, well-detailed flashings at walls and upstands, and clear gutters or outlets. Most leaks start at flashings or blocked drainage rather than the glass. Annual checks of joints and outlets prevent most problems.

Manufacturer guarantees apply to the glass units, coatings and any framing or fixings, and the terms are confirmed in writing. Supports built by others are covered by their own builder's terms. Guarantee terms for our installation are set out in writing with your quote, so you know what is covered and who is responsible before work begins.

A glass roof is installed onto supports already built and checked, such as walls, steel beams, glass beams or upstands. The glass units are lifted with a crane, glass robot or vacuum lifters, set onto gaskets or setting blocks, fixed and then weather sealed. Most domestic roofs are installed in a day or two once supports are ready.

Yes. A new glass roof, frameless rooflight or walk-on panel is building work that normally needs approval through building control, covering structure, energy performance and fire performance near a boundary. Highly glazed extensions often need energy calculations to show compliance. The rules differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and we explain the route for your project.
