Commercial & industrial rooflights for Gillingham: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Gillingham 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Gillingham, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Gillingham sits about 2 km from Chatham and 3 km from Rochester, and we cover the whole ME7 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Smoke-vent options where needed
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
Building control and safety duties in Gillingham
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. 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.
