Commercial & industrial rooflights for Gloucester: the essentials
For Gloucester homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We cover all of Gloucester and the GL1 district, and nearby Cheltenham and Stroud.
Choices for your Gloucester project
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Gloucester
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

From enquiry to finished job
- Send the details. Postcode, rough size and a photo of the roof and room.
- Measure and check. A surveyor visits Gloucester, measures and checks structure and access.
- Agree the quote. You approve the specification and price before anything is ordered.
- Installation day. Usually one day into a prepared opening, longer for new openings.

Common questions
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Do you supply O&M information?
Yes — product data, manufacturer warranties and maintenance notes are handed over at completion.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Gloucester?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Gloucester?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
