Commercial & industrial rooflights for Christchurch: the essentials
For Christchurch homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. In Christchurch, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Christchurch sits about 7 km from Bournemouth and 8 km from New Milton, and we cover the whole BH23 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Christchurch
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Planned around working sites
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Christchurch
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. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
