Commercial & industrial rooflights in Putney: what is involved?
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Putney means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the SW15 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Greater London, including Putney, and in neighbouring towns such as Barnes and Fulham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Rules and responsibilities in Putney
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
