What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Prestwich involve?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Prestwich 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. In Prestwich, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Prestwich, and in neighbouring towns such as Whitefield and Radcliffe. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Prestwich
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Prestwich
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. 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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
