What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Caterham involve?
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across Surrey, including Caterham. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Neighbouring towns include Coulsdon (6 km) and Purley (6 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights

- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass

What to check first
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Caterham
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. 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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
