What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Reading involve?
For Reading homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We cover all of Reading and the RG1 district, and nearby Earley and Henley-on-Thames.
Options we can specify in Reading
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Smoke-vent options where needed
Before you order: points to check
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Reading
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.
