Commercial & industrial rooflights in Failsworth: what is involved?
For Failsworth 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.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Failsworth, and in neighbouring towns such as Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Fall-protection planning included
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Before you order: points to check
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Failsworth
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. 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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
