What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Ilford involve?
For Ilford 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. In Ilford, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across Greater London, including Ilford, and in neighbouring towns such as Barking and Leytonstone. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Ilford project
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
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 Ilford
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
