Commercial & industrial rooflights in Longton: what is involved?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Longton 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.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across Staffordshire, including Longton, and in neighbouring towns such as Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas

Before you order: points to check

Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Longton
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.
