Commercial & industrial rooflights in Urmston: what is involved?
For Urmston 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Stretford (2 km) and Sale (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Fall-protection planning included
- Planned around working sites
Before you order: points to check
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Building control and safety duties in Urmston
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
