How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Ramsgate
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Ramsgate 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. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
From Ramsgate to Broadstairs, Margate and Deal, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Ramsgate
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
