How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Plymouth
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Devon, including Plymouth. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Plymouth is the main town we list in Devon; we also cover nearby Plymstock and Paignton.
What you can choose
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Planned around working sites
What to check first
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Plymouth
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.
