Commercial & industrial rooflights in Truro: what is involved?
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Cornwall, including Truro. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty. In Truro, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We cover all of Truro and the TR1 district, and nearby Falmouth and Redruth.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights

- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Building control and safety duties in Truro
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
