What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Formby involve?
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Formby means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the L37 district and the rest of Merseyside, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. In Formby, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Maghull (10 km) and Southport (10 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Building control and safety duties in Formby
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.
