Commercial & industrial rooflights for Wantage: the essentials
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Wantage 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. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Wantage sits about 13 km from Didcot and 13 km from Abingdon, and we cover the whole OX12 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
Things we check at survey
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Wantage
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
