How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Cheltenham
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Cheltenham? 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.
Stone cottages, slate roofs and conservation areas are common in the South West, and conservation-profile rooflights keep the roofline quiet. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Jobs in Cheltenham 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.
What you can choose
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Cheltenham
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 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.
