How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Ely
For Ely 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 homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
From Ely to Newmarket, March and St Ives, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Choices for your Ely project
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Ely
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
