What are commercial & industrial rooflights?
Across Edinburgh and the Lothians, our commercial & industrial rooflights work covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Survey first, fixed price second, fitting third.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
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.
