How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Kirriemuir
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Kirriemuir 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Kirriemuir, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Kirriemuir sits about 8 km from Forfar and 22 km from Brechin, and we cover the whole DD8 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Planned around working sites
Things we check at survey
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Building control and safety duties in Kirriemuir
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 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
