Commercial & industrial rooflights for Oxford: the essentials
For Oxford homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Oxford, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Oxford is the main town we list in Oxfordshire; we also cover nearby Abingdon and Didcot.
Choices for your Oxford project
- Modular glass rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Replacement of discoloured or fragile sheets
- Fall-protection planning included
What to check first
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Building control and safety duties in Oxford
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.

- Agree the quote. You approve the specification and price before anything is ordered.
- Fitting and handover. We install, clean down and leave product and warranty documents.
