How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Shirley
For Shirley homes and buildings we offer commercial & industrial rooflights: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. In Shirley, as anywhere, commercial & industrial rooflights are the usual choice for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Shirley sits about 3 km from Solihull and 10 km from Birmingham, and we cover the whole B90 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Fall-protection planning included
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Building control and safety duties in Shirley
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. 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.
