Commercial & industrial rooflights in Atherton: what is involved?
For Atherton homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Atherton sits about 2 km from Tyldesley and 3 km from Westhoughton, and we cover the whole M46 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Atherton
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Things we check at survey
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Atherton
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.
