What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Canterbury involve?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Canterbury 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
From Canterbury to Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Before you order: points to check
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Canterbury
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
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.
