What are commercial & industrial rooflights?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Cambridgeshire covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We survey every job before fixing the price.
Flat, open landscape in much of the East means roofs take the wind, so upstand and seal details matter more than the brand of glass. Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass.

Planning and building rules in England
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

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
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
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.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Cambridgeshire?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
