Commercial & industrial rooflights in Rhondda: what is involved?
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Rhondda? 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.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Rhondda is the main town we list in Mid Glamorgan; we also cover nearby Tonypandy and Aberdare.
Specification options
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents

- Smoke-vent options where needed

Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Rhondda
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 non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
