How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Newmarket
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Suffolk, including Newmarket. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Neighbouring towns include Haverhill (18 km) and Ely (20 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Planned around working sites
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
Building control and safety duties in Newmarket
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
