How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Hereford
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Hereford? The short answer: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. In Hereford, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Hereford is the main town we list in Herefordshire; we also cover nearby Ross-on-Wye and Leominster.
What you can choose
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Before you order: points to check
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Building control and safety duties in Hereford
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.

Questions about commercial & industrial rooflights in Hereford
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
How do I book a survey in Hereford?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hereford?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
