How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Worthing
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Worthing 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Worthing is around 35 km from Crawley, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Sussex, including the BN11 district.
Options we can specify in Worthing
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Polycarbonate domes
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Modular glass rooflights
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
- Smoke-vent options where needed
Things we check at survey
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Building control and safety duties in Worthing
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.

Common questions
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.
Do you supply O&M information?
Yes — product data, manufacturer warranties and maintenance notes are handed over at completion.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Worthing?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Worthing?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
