Commercial & industrial rooflights for Hitchin: the essentials
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Hertfordshire, including Hitchin. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Hertfordshire, including Hitchin, and in neighbouring towns such as Letchworth Garden City and Stevenage. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass

Things we check at survey

- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Hitchin
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
