replacing tiled roof with glass

blushingbride_3

Hi

I have a single storey section at the back of my house off kitchen with patio doors.
I'd like to replace a section of the roof to make it similar to this http://www.cityroofers.co.uk/recent-roofing-projects.html

Do you think its possible? would be for a area approx 3m x 2.5 m

You most probably can do it but get a few quotes first , if its more for letting light in then perhaps a chaeper option would be the conservatory style roof !

thanks crazyguy, what do you mean by conservatory style?

What i have is a section of the back of the house single storey which houses the small area off kitchen where my patio doors are plus the utility room & wc
I'd like to make the area of the kitchen glass so its a little like a mini conservatory that will also add light to the kitchen as the kitchen gets limited natural light from the utilty & these patio doors.
hope that makes sense :O) i'll see how much it will cost.

The problem with the conservatory type roofing is the noise made when it rains..:eek:

Any glass in the roof will adversely affect the heat losses from the room concerned. If it is actually classed as a habitable room it might well reduce the over all U-value to below that permitted by the Building regulations.
