Commercial & industrial rooflights for Ashford, Kent: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Ashford, Kent covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Kent, including Ashford, Kent, and in neighbouring towns such as Faversham and Canterbury. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
