Commercial & industrial rooflights in the Highlands and Islands: the essentials
Commercial & industrial rooflights in the Highlands and Islands means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every quote follows a survey of the roof and the room below.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

Common questions
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.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
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.
Do you fit commercial & industrial rooflights across the Highlands and Islands?
Yes, in most places. We survey and fit commercial & industrial rooflights across the Highlands and Islands, including Inverness, Elgin. Fort William, Kirkwall, Lerwick, Thurso, Wick are by arrangement.
