Commercial & industrial rooflights in Greenford: what is involved?
For Greenford 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.
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. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Northolt (2 km) and Southall (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Planned around working sites
- Fall-protection planning included
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 Greenford
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. 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.

Common questions
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
