What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Hornchurch involve?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Hornchurch 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.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Greater London, including Hornchurch, and in neighbouring towns such as Romford and Dagenham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Hornchurch
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Fall-protection planning included
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Hornchurch
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
