How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Tonbridge
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Tonbridge? 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.
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 warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Tonbridge sits about 7 km from Tunbridge Wells and 10 km from Sevenoaks, and we cover the whole TN9 postcode district and the roads in between.

Building control and safety duties in Tonbridge
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Commercial & industrial rooflights in Tonbridge: questions
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
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.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
