How we approach commercial & industrial rooflights in Wakefield
For Wakefield 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.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Commercial & industrial rooflights suit industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Wakefield sits about 5 km from Lofthouse and 5 km from Ossett, and we cover the whole WF1 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Wakefield project
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Modular glass rooflights
- Fall-protection planning included
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Things we check at survey
- Fire performance of rooflight materials matters near boundaries
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Wakefield
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.

Some units are certified smoke ventilators. See our smoke-vent rooflights page.
