Commercial & industrial rooflights for Barnes: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Barnes 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 London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across Greater London, including Barnes, and in neighbouring towns such as Chiswick and Putney. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
What to check first
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Barnes
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
