How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Thatcham
For Thatcham 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Thatcham, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Newbury (4 km) and Basingstoke (20 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Planned around working sites
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Before you order: points to check
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Building control and safety duties in Thatcham
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
