Commercial & industrial rooflights for Gravesend: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Gravesend 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Kent, including Gravesend, and in neighbouring towns such as Grays and Strood. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Gravesend project
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Building control and safety duties in Gravesend
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 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.

Common questions
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.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Gravesend?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Gravesend?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
