What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Kettering involve?
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Northamptonshire, including Kettering. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. In Kettering, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Wellingborough (11 km) and Corby (11 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Choices for your Kettering project
- Modular glass rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
Rules and responsibilities in Kettering
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
