How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Hexham
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Hexham means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the NE46 district and the rest of Northumberland, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Northumberland, including Hexham, and in neighbouring towns such as Consett and Newburn. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
