What are commercial & industrial rooflights?
Across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, our commercial & industrial rooflights work covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Survey first, fixed price second, fitting third.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
What do commercial & industrial rooflights cost in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
These are typical supply-and-fit ranges. For an address in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, scaffold, a hoist for heavy glass, or a new structural opening can move the figure, which is why we survey first.

How the job runs
- Tell us about the roof. Send the postcode, rough sizes and a photo or two through the form, WhatsApp or the guide-price tool.
- Free survey. For new installations a surveyor measures the opening, checks the roof build-up and talks through glass and options.
- Fixed written quote. You get the product, the work and the price in writing. Nothing is ordered or paid for until you agree.
- Fitting and handover. We fit, seal and make good, then hand over product data, warranties and any certificate paperwork.

Common questions
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Do you supply O&M information?
Yes — product data, manufacturer warranties and maintenance notes are handed over at completion.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
