Commercial & industrial rooflights for Hull: the essentials
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Hull? The short answer: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Converted barns and mills in Yorkshire often suit bespoke or ridge rooflights that follow the original structure. In Hull, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We cover all of Hull and the HU1 district, and nearby Beverley and Hornsea.

- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas

- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents

Things we check at survey

- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Hull
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hull?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Hull?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
