How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Manchester
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Manchester 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.
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.
Manchester is the main town we list in Greater Manchester; we also cover nearby Salford and Failsworth.

Building control and safety duties in Manchester
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.
