What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Ealing involve?
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Ealing means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the W5 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow side returns are typical of much of London, and a glass roof or long flat rooflight is the usual way to keep the back rooms bright once the return is built over. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Ealing is around 15 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the W5 district.

Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Ealing
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
