Commercial & industrial rooflights for Newtownabbey: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Newtownabbey covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Belfast (7 km) and Carrickfergus (9 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate domes
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas

Things we check at survey

- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Building control and safety duties in Newtownabbey
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 non-domestic buildings in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F2 covers energy performance; we supply the manufacturer's data for building control. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
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.
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.
