How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in East Grinstead
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in East Grinstead covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
We work across West Sussex, including East Grinstead, and in neighbouring towns such as Horley and Crawley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Modular glass rooflights
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Planned around working sites
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
What to check first
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
Rules and responsibilities in East Grinstead
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
