Commercial & industrial rooflights in Sittingbourne: what is involved?
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Sittingbourne? 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Sittingbourne, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Kent, including Sittingbourne, and in neighbouring towns such as Faversham and Gillingham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Sittingbourne project
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Rules and responsibilities in Sittingbourne
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
