How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Lockerbie
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Lockerbie 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.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
From Lockerbie to Annan, Dumfries and Castle Douglas, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Modular glass rooflights
- Planned around working sites
- Fall-protection planning included
Before you order: points to check
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Building control and safety duties in Lockerbie
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 Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
