How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Banbury
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Banbury covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
From Banbury to Bicester, Daventry and Towcester, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
- Fall-protection planning included
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
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Banbury
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. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.

Common questions
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Banbury?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
