At Whitesales, we understand that integrating rooflights into a building is more than just an aesthetic choice, it's a commitment to enhancing natural light, energy efficiency, and overall occupant well-being.  

Whether it’s a new leisure centre,an education campus, or the refurbishment of a heritage building, delivering a rooflight solution that performs both practically and architecturally involves much more than choosing a product off the shelf. Our comprehensive approach ensures that from the initial concept to the final installation, every step is meticulously planned and executed.​

1. Initial consultation and needs assessment

Every successful project begins with understanding the unique requirements of the client. Whether it's a commercial space, educational facility, or heritage building, our team engages in detailed discussions to grasp the project's vision, functional needs, and any specific challenges. This collaborative approach ensures that the proposed rooflight solution aligns perfectly with the building's purpose and design ethos.​

For refurbishments, our approach is similar, but with added emphasis on site-specific challenges. We regularly provide guidance on replacements for ageing systems or upgrades to meet new regulations, and we can advise on integrating new rooflights within existing structures.

2. Site survey and technical evaluation

Following the initial consultation,our experts conduct a thorough site survey. This step is crucial to assess structural considerations, roof orientation, and potential obstacles. By evaluating these factors early on, we can anticipate challenges and tailor solutions that fit seamlessly into the existing architecture.​

3. Design and specification

Leveraging insights from the site survey, our design team crafts a bespoke rooflight solution. We consider factors such as thermal performance, light transmission, and ventilation needs.Our commitment to quality means we also provide performance data on U-values,g-values, light transmission, and ventilation options, ensuring the entire rooflight system, not just the glazing, meets thermal and safety standards.

Where planning approvals or conservation consents are needed, we can supply all supporting documentation,including drawings, case studies, and product samples.

4. Regulatory compliance and planningsupport

Navigating building regulations canbe complex. Our team stays abreast of the latest standards, includingdistinctions between rooflights and roof windows, to ensure compliance. Weprovide comprehensive documentation and support to assist with planning applications,where necessary, ensuring a smooth approval process.​

5. Manufacturing and quality assurance

Once the design is finalised, ourmanufacturing process begins. Utilising high-quality materials andstate-of-the-art techniques, we produce rooflights that are both durable andaesthetically pleasing. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensureit meets our exacting standards before delivery.​

6. Delivery and installation

Once manufacturing is complete, we coordinate delivery to align perfectly with the build schedule, ensuring materials arrive on site exactly when needed, with minimal disruption to other works. Our logistics team works closely with site managers and project leads to keep everything running to plan.

As the appointed contractor for rooflight installation, our experienced teams take full responsibility for fitting the systems we’ve designed and manufactured. From standard modules to complex bespoke glazing, we manage the installation with the same attention to detail and quality that goes into every other stage of the process.

7. Post-installation support

Our commitment doesn't end once the rooflight is installed. We offer ongoing support, including maintenance advice and assistance with any queries that may arise. Our goal is to ensure that the rooflight continues to perform optimally, enhancing the building's environment for years to come.
