Commercial & industrial rooflights in Greater Manchester: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Greater Manchester covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We survey every job before fixing the price.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement.

Planning and building rules in England
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.
