How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Poole
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Dorset, including Poole. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. In Poole, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Jobs in Poole are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Options we can specify in Poole
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Fall-protection planning included
Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Poole
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.
