Commercial & industrial rooflights in Basingstoke: what is involved?
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Hampshire, including Basingstoke. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Basingstoke, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Basingstoke sits about 18 km from Fleet and 20 km from Thatcham, and we cover the whole RG21 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Basingstoke project
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Planned around working sites
What to check first
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Building control and safety duties in Basingstoke
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
