How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Richmond
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Greater London, including Richmond. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Richmond is around 14 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the TW9 district.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Fall-protection planning included
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Building control and safety duties in Richmond
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.

Common questions
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.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Can you work alongside my builder in Richmond?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Richmond?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
