How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Shrewsbury
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Shrewsbury means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the SY1 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across Shropshire, including Shrewsbury, and in neighbouring towns such as Wellington and Telford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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.
