What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Broadstairs involve?
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Broadstairs? 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Broadstairs sits about 3 km from Ramsgate and 5 km from Margate, and we cover the whole CT10 postcode district and the roads in between.

Rules and responsibilities in Broadstairs
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 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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.
