Overview
Why glass links and walkways?
A structural glass link joins two buildings — a house and an annexe, or an old building and a new extension — while keeping them visually separate.
Glass links are often used on period and listed buildings because they keep old and new distinct. Each link is designed with structural calculations and priced after a design survey.
Joins without hiding
Both buildings stay readable on either side of the glass.
Light-filled passage
A covered route that feels like outside.
Heritage-friendly
A light touch where old meets new.
Engineered glass
Designed and calculated for each span.

Good to know
Planning, regulations and timings
Planning and listed building consent
Links usually need planning permission, and listed building consent if either building is listed.
Structure and Building Regulations
Each link is designed with structural calculations and needs Building Regulations approval.
Designed after a free survey
Every one is designed for its site, so there is no honest 'typical' price. We measure and design it at a free design survey, and you get a written quote before anything is ordered.
Questions
Glass links and walkways: your questions answered
How much does a glass link cost?
Every one is designed for the site, so we price a glass link after a free design survey rather than quote a misleading 'typical' figure. You get a written quote before anything is ordered, and nothing is built until you've approved the design.
Do glass links need planning permission?
Usually, yes — and listed building consent if either building is listed.
Can a glass link connect to a listed building?
Often, because a glass link keeps the historic building distinct. Consent is needed and the design has to respect the original fabric.
