Dome rooflights in Sandhurst: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Sandhurst? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Sandhurst is around 18 km from Reading, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Berkshire, including the GU47 district.

Building control and safety duties in Sandhurst
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. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.

Common questions
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Sandhurst?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Sandhurst and across Berkshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Sandhurst?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
