What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Smethwick involve?
Commercial & industrial rooflights in Smethwick means rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We cover the B66 district and the rest of the West Midlands, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
We work across the West Midlands, including Smethwick, and in neighbouring towns such as West Bromwich and Birmingham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Things we check at survey
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Rules and responsibilities in Smethwick
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about commercial & industrial rooflights in Smethwick
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can rooflights double as smoke vents?
Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
Can you work alongside my builder in Smethwick?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Smethwick?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
