Commercial & industrial rooflights in Inverness: what is involved?
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Inverness? 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We cover all of Inverness and the IV2 district, and nearby Elgin and Huntly.
Options we can specify in Inverness
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Inverness
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 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.

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 supply O&M information?
Yes — product data, manufacturer warranties and maintenance notes are handed over at completion.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
How do I book a survey in Inverness?
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 Inverness?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
