How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Liverpool

Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.

Rules and responsibilities in Liverpool
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.
