Commercial & industrial rooflights in Wimbledon: what is involved?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Wimbledon 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.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow side returns are typical of much of London, and a glass roof or long flat rooflight is the usual way to keep the back rooms bright once the return is built over. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
From Wimbledon to Morden, Mitcham and Putney, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Planned around working sites
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Rules and responsibilities in Wimbledon
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
