Commercial & industrial rooflights for Shepherds Bush: the essentials
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Shepherds Bush? The short answer: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across Greater London, including Shepherds Bush, and in neighbouring towns such as Notting Hill and Hammersmith. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Shepherds Bush
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Fall-protection planning included
Before you order: points to check
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned

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.
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Can you work alongside my builder in Shepherds Bush?
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 Shepherds Bush?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
