Commercial & industrial rooflights for Wilmslow: the essentials
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Cheshire, including Wilmslow. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
From Wilmslow to Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove and Altrincham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Planned around working sites
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Wilmslow
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. 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.

Questions about commercial & industrial rooflights in Wilmslow
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
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 work alongside my builder in Wilmslow?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Wilmslow?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
