How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Swansea
We handle commercial & industrial rooflights across West Glamorgan, including Swansea. In short: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Swansea, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We cover all of Swansea and the SA1 district, and nearby Briton Ferry and Gorseinon.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate domes
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Modular glass rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Fall-protection planning included
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
What to check first
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Swansea
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 non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
