What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Bournemouth involve?
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Bournemouth means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the BH1 district and the rest of Dorset, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. In Bournemouth, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We cover all of Bournemouth and the BH1 district, and nearby Christchurch and Poole.
Specification options
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Building control and safety duties in Bournemouth
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
